FOREWORD

The Central Board of Secondary Education has been at the forefront of introducing many fundamentalreforms in school education to make it more responsive and flexible to accommodate needs and aspirations ofevery child on the one hand and on the other to deliver as per the demands of the ever evolving world. In themodern dynamic knowledge societies we need to prepare students for a life of careers rather than preparing asingle career for a life time and therefore the schools affiliated to the Board must enhance their capacity toaddress the emerging challenges.

The CBSE publishes the compendium of circulars issued to school every five years. However, in view ofsheer number of circulars issued during the last three years and the number of requests received from schooland other stakeholders to supply copies of the latest circulars issued on important policies, it is imperative toupdate it by including the important circulars issued on various subjects.

The present compendium contains the important circulars issued by the Board during the period2005-2011. The compendium is available in two volumes and has been divided as per the themes. The subject,number of circular and the year it was issued has been mentioned in the contents. The soft copies of most of thecirculars are available in the archives on the CBSE website (www.cbse.nic.in). It is hoped that the compendiumwould serve as a useful guide for the school to implement the guidelines issued by the Board and it is recommendedthat every affiliated school must keep a copy of this important document to pursue the Board's philosophy andvision of continuous growth.

I am confident that this compendium, besides being a handy reference, will also help the heads of institutionsto understand some significant issues related to programmes and policies of the Board. Compilation and editingof the present volumes has been carried out under the supervision of Dr. Sadhana Parashar, Director (Training),CBSE with assistance of Shri A.H. Ahmed, AEO. I appreciate the commendable efforts of the Director (Training)and her team.

The Heads of all CBSE

Affiliated institutions

Subject: Discontinuation of recommendation of books of private publishers.

Dear Principal,

Your kind attention is drawn to Board’s Circular No. 12 dated 22.06.2006 on the above mentioned subject.You are thus aware of the Board’s direction that it has stopped the practice of recommending the books ofprivate publishers including the Hindi medium books in different subjects at senior secondary level from theacademic year 2005-06.

In spite of this clear direction, it has been brought to our notice that some unscrupulous private publishers/agencies are making claims that their books are recommended by CBSE which is not factually correct. Theschools are thus requested to be cautious and alert and not to be moved by such claims by prescribing theirbooks.

Another important aspect is regarding correct use of teminology as approved by the Standing Commissionfor Scientific & Technical Terminology in the Hindi medium textbooks which has already been incorporated byNCERT in its textbooks vide their letter No. 2-22/2007-08/455 dated 26.04.2007. The teachers concerned maybe advised to strictly adhere to the correct terminology as incorporated in the new NCERT textbooks. You arerequested to inform the Board immediately if any private agency/publisher is claiming that their books arerecommended by CBSE to enable the Board to take action against such agency.

Yours faithfully

NO. HOD(EDUSAT)/08 March 10, 2008Circular No. 08

All Heads of InstitutionsAffiliated with the CBSE

Subject: Counselling in SchoolsSir/Madam

CBSE has been sending guidelines to its affiliated schools periodically about providing counselling servicesto students. Circular No. 8 dated 10th July, 2002 highlighted this need by observing that ‘exercises in buildingself-concept, self-image, acceptability, ability to withstand pressures, sense of enterprises, sportsmanship etc.have to be part of the learning process and schools were instructed to provide planned and effective counsellingto achieve the above. The Board has also advised all the senior secondary schools to appoint a person on fulltime basis for performing the duties of a counslor. It was also expected that secondary school would also followthe above directions if the resources permit.

A committee, popularly known as Raghavan Committee, constituted by the Supreme Court of India tomake suggestions for prevention of ragging in educational institutions has also made a strong case for regularand periodic psychological counselling sessions for every student in the school. Though ragging is not prevalentat school level, it is necessary for schools to sensitize students about human rights, democratic values andrespect for privacy and dignity of others. The right attitude is formed only at formative period of schooling.Schools are advised to create a conducive climate that is free from fear, anxiety and stress so that children canlearn joyfully and learn to work together harmoniously. The following points are reiterated in this regard withan instruction to schools to implement an effective programme of counselling for students:

� At secondary and senior secondary stages at least twenty sessions of psychological counselling must beprovided to every student in an academic session. Parents and teachers may also be involved in suchsessions.

� Corporal punishment should be totally banned in schools (please refer to CBSE circular dated 20thJuly, 2002).

� Awareness about human rights, respect for diversity and equality may be discretely grafted into thelessons and exercises right from the primary classes. Education in Life Skills can be given greater thrustin class VI-VIII to inculcate the desirable value system.

Your cooperation in the matter will go a long way in creating a condcive ambience in schools for the holisticand healthy development of children.

Yours faithfully,

Circular No. 22/08

All Heads of Independent SchoolsAffiliated to the CBSE

Subject: IGNITE 2008: A National Campaign to harness the creative andinnovative spirit of school children by National InnovationFoundation (NIF) and CBSE, supported bythe Honey Bee Networkand SRISTI.

Dear Principal,

CBSE had made attempts jointly earlier with National Innovation Foundation to organize competitions forchildren’s ideas and innovations and traditional knowledge learned/acquired from elders, which evoked goodresponse from the students.

We are talking this initiative again this year as part of a campaign called IGNITE 2008 (Annexure 1)’through the launch of ‘Honey Bee Creativity Clubs’ (Annexure 2) in the schools. The campaign will be launchedin June this year and the awards will be given on 15th October 2008.

Why the Creativity clubs and the IGNITE contest?

Creativity among children is almost in-bom. Every child is creative, degrees may vary, but not the basicmanifestation. Then what happens during the growth and maturation? Why should children stop asking basicquestions? Why do they agree to do repetitive science projects instead of being original? Why do they learn tolive with unsolved social and professional problems? We should not allow our children to live with such problemsrather urge them to come up with solutions to these.

Originality, creativity and innovative spirit have to be promoted among our children so that when theybecome leaders of our society, they ensure an imaginative, inclusive and an innovative future for the country.The objective of the exercise is to have a network of Creativity and Innovation clubs in schools, which willproactively support and nurture creative initiatives of children. These are likely to make them more sensitive tothe problems faced by not just them and their families or neighbours but also other socially disadvantagedsections of the society. The challenge of conserving nature through creative technical and institutional innovationswill also be faced through these clubs.

These Honey Bee Creativity Clubs will be student clubs that will be a permanent activity/feature of theschoolsand have ongoing activities round the year. IGNITE 2008 will be an annual contest that may be back next yearas IGNITE 2009.

IGNITE 2008 Campaign 1 (June-October 2008): The country has been divided into twelve zones with acity representing each zone (various zones and representative city have been mentioned in Annexure 3). In


second/third week of June, the campaign will be declared open following which subsequent launches will beheld in each zone (June-July). The schools in the zone would be motivated to open Honey Bee Creativity Clubsand also participate in the IGNITE 2008 idea and innovation contest (the participation dates for each zone arementioned in Arurexure 3).

While the submission of project dates (June-July) is open for each zone, students from the particular zonecan submit their ideas/innovations/projects, through any of the following means:

1. Online registuation and project submission at www.indiainnovates.com

2. Email the details at [email protected]

3. Mail them at the following address (directly/through the Principal)

IGNITE 2OO0/CBSENational Innovation Foundation, India

Bungalow 1, Satellite Complex,Premchand Nagar Road, Vastrapur

Ahmedabad 380015, Gujarat

After the end of the submission dates for each zone, the entries would be short-listed and zone wisepreliminaries would be held (August-October) in the representative city (of the zone), where the selected studentswould be invited to exhibit and present their project before an invited audience and experts.

The three winners from each zone will participate in the national level finals on 14th/15th October 2008.

IGNITE 2008 Campaign 2 (October 2008-May 2009): During their vacations or otherwise, the studentswould be encouraged to look for people who come out with innovative machines/devices or solve day to dayproblems using their creativity. Similarly they would be encouraged to document and learn traditional knowledgepractices from their elders in their family and neighbourhood. The purpose is to expose them to the rich taditionalheritage we have, facilitating its tansfer from generation to generation.

The students submitting the maximum number of properly documented entries (Innovations/TraditionalKnowledge) to the clubs/schools (which would forward them to NIF) would be given appreciation certificatesfrom NIF. For each innovation/traditional knowledge practice spotted and documented by the student, he/shewill be credited as being the ‘Scout’ for that particular innovation/traditional knowledge in records.

Specific points to be noted

1. Teachers and parents are specifically requested not to be suggestive to the children and let them comeup with some creative idea of their own. In case, the teachers or parents have an interesting idea(s) theycan send it to us for separate awards.

Annexure 1

IGNITE 2OO8

We are mounting a two segment campaign in all the schools as a part of IGNITE 08.

Campaigns 1: Creative and innovative solutions developed by the children

Every student would be motivated to identify the problems, in efficiencies, drudgery in everyday life withwhich we should not live any more and try and develop original solutions for them and submit the same to thePrincipals soon after the schools open. Idea is to make children intolerant of inefficiency or incompetence orinadequate design or functionality of various products and services in their life or around them.

Children can also submit ideas if they have not been able to convert them into physical projects. If shortlisted, they might be given financial and mentoring support to complete the projects. In the deserving cases,patents will be filed in their name at no cost to them. It is also possible that some of the ideas might attractentrepreneurs and these may get licensed for monetary consideration.

The projects aiming to demonstrate the known concepts of science or technology without any novelty willnot be accepted. Here, the emphasis is on sensitivity to the problems, that have remained unsolved. Generalproblems like poverty or environmental degradation need not be mentioned. However, specific aspect of aproblem can be mentioned (e.g. women who transplant paddy in standing water develop infections in their feet,how can we find an affordable solution for them. Many times the cooking gas gets exhausted during the processof cooking without any advance waming. Why could not there be an indicator telling in advance how long thegas will last?).

Parents and teachers will be requested to submit their ideas under respective categories for separate awardand not influence the children.

* Patent has been filed in the nane of Atchara and Preethi, winners of IGNITE 2007 for their project‘Respirometer’.

Campaign 2: Documenting traditional knowledge and Looking for the odd balls

There is a tremendously rich traditional knowledge much/some of which we still use in our families. Itcould be related to health, child care, women’s problems, clothes, cosmetics, hair care, construction, foodprocessing, etc. Some of this knowledge can even help in extending the frontiers of science or technology. Oneof the major cause of concern is that lot of this knowledge is getting eroded or lost because of lack of connectionbetween grandparents and grandchildren. The knowledge has to be documented with the identification of thesource from whom it has been collected and with their consent for sharing it with NIF.

It is not enough to be creative oneself. We have to learn as a society to appreciate the creativity andinnovativeness of others. It is the culture of appreciation, which ultimately will change the mindset and helpIndia become not just creative but also collaborative and compassionate. Students have to scout the innovationsand outstanding attempts to solve problems in the neighbourhood or among the nearby slums or the workshopsor any other social sphere. The innovator may be educated or uneducated. He/she could even be a schooldropout.


Annexure 2

Honey Bee Creativity Clubs

The Objective

The purpose is to imbue in young children the Honey Bee network philosophy of crosspollinating theknowlodge rich economically poor people. Hope is to link people in one region with one set of solutions withpeople from another region facing same or similar problems. A knowledge network may thus be created, withdue acknowledgement to the knowledge holders. Essentially, following the way of a honey bee, which linksflower to flower and sucks nectar without impoverishing the flower and does not keep all the honey for itself.

The Clubs will also inculcate in children the ability to blend seven Es, ethics, efficiency, equity, excellence,empathy, education, and environment, proposed by the Honey Bee Network, SRISTI (Society for Research andInstitutions for Sustainable Technologies and Institutions) and National Innovation Foundation.

Idea also is to nurture the children so that they grow and excel as future innovation leaders of India. Wewant to invest in them at an early age so that when they grow up as sensitive, responsible and mature citizens,they are ready to lead India into an innovation age”

The Plan

Each school will have innovation clubs called Honey Bee Creativity Clubs in schools. There would be twonominated teacher in-charge and any five student representatives from standard 6th to 12th. Thus, the club willbe managed by any five student representatives and two teacher representatives. The other members wouldcomprise students who have (a) submitted interesting ideas/innovations of themselves, (b) scouted innovations/ideas of others and (c) done both.

The Launch

During June-July, 2008, invitations would be sent to all the schools in the cities. The campaign representativeswould visit personally the schools that will respond to the invitation letters and give a presentation. Finally, inthe interested schools the club would be launched. Subsequently, they would be divided in different zones andan induction program would be organised for each zone, where all the teacher and student representatives fromall the schools will be present and preferably the principals also would attend.

The students and teachers would be expected to motivate other students to participate. Schools may chooseto open Creativity clubs and also participate in IGNITE 2008 or may only participate in the competition withoutcreating clubs. lt would be at their discretion.

Other activities have also been planned to engage the students. Walks through rural/urban areas like villages/slums would be organised on monthly/bimonthly basis to sensitize students about the ground realities andproblems facing our society today so that they can come up with solutions to those. Also at the same time theymust be made to realize that the poor may be financially poor but are rich knowledge wise, resulting in increasingtheir respect for such people. Special guided ‘Make yourself’ workshops may be organised apart from visits tovarious institutions like ISRO,ISC etc.


During the summer vacations, the clubs may nominate students to attend an educational excursion (maximumseven days) wherein they would be exposed to/will undertake the following activities.

1) orientation about scouting & documentation

2) methods of data collection (plant samples, building case studies etc.)

3) mentored pilot field visit

4) field visit for data collection

5) compilation of collected data

A representation from NIF would lead the team.

Any idea/innovation worth scaling up would be taken up by NIF and supported through the Micro VentureInnovation Fund at NIF.

Subject: Safety in School Science Laboratories

Dear Principal,

Science laboratories are essential and critical component in Science education. All students study science asa compulsory subject upto grade X and a significant percentage of them continue studying Physics, Chemistry,Biology, Bio-Technologr. Home Science etc. at Senior Secondary level. This requires conduct of regular practicalwork and use of variety of equipment, instruments, gadgets, materials, chemicals, glassware etc. It is of utmostimportance that in order to ensure safety of students working in Science laboratories, every essential precautionis taken well in advance.

It is not uncommon to observe that in many cases, the essential safety measures are either not given muchattention or are ignored altogether. Gas fittings in Chemistry laboratory often do not fulfil the mandatory standardsand requirements. Chemicals are, in many cases, not stored in safe manner and kept under safe custody. It isalso observed that exhaust fans are sometimes not provided in Chemistry laboratory. Mandatory items such aslaboratory coats, goggles and gloves are not used while doing experimental work. Electrical fittings are at timesdone with substandard materials and components. Laboratories are not located with easy and open exits. Fireextinguishers are not installed at desired locations. First aid facilities are inadequate or missing. Medical facilitiesare also found granting on many occasions. All such negligent actions may result in dangerous and unfortunateincidents and need to be attended to urgently.

In order to ensure safety of students in Science laboratories, there is an urgent need to look into its differentrespects and make the following provisions:

� Designing of all science laboratories according to necessary norms and standards.

� Two wide doors for unobstructed exits from the laboratory.

� Adequate number of fire extinguishers near science laboratories.

� Periodical checking of vulnerable points in the laboratories in relation to possibility of any mishappening.

� Ensuring gas fittings in Chemistry laboratory fulfilling desired norms and standards.

� Periodical checking of electrical fittings insulations for replacement and repairs.


� Timely and repeated instructions to students for careful handling of chemicals and equipments in thelaboratory.

� Display of dos and dont’s in the laboratory at prominent places.

� Safe and secure storage of all chemicals.

� Proper labelling and upkeep of chemicals.

� Proper safety and protection provisions such as fume hood, goggles and gloves while doing practicalwork.

� Careful supervision of students while doing practical work.

� Advance precautionary arrangements to meet any emergency situations.

� Conduct of any additional experimental work only under supervision and with due advance permission.

� Availability of First Aid and basic medical facilities in the school.

� Proper location of the laboratories.

The tragic fire incident in a school at Kumbakonam in 2004 is still afresh in which nearly 100 children losttheir precious lives. The Board had issued a detailed Circular no. 28/2004 dated 26th July, 2004 asking schoolsto take all safety measures for meeting adverse situations and ensuring safe custody of children in the school. Itis reiterated that all necessary safety measures may be taken and the above guidelines may be discussed in detailwith the teachers as well as students for greater awareness and sensitization on safety matters.

The Board may depute an expert team to visit your school to find out whether all safety provisions inScience laboratories have been made.

With best regards,

Yours faithfully

Running of classes of coaching institutions in the school premises in the pretext of providing coaching tothe students for various entrance examinations is not approved by the Board. Some schools are organizing suchprogrammes by naming it as an integrated school programme that teaches both CBSE syllabus and preparestudents for various entrance examinations to mislead the students and their parents.

The premises of CBSE schools should not be used for any commercial activity. Every school should ensuredevotion of minimum periods for teaching various subjects as per the syllabi and course prescribed by theBoard. No coaching classes or parallel classes should be run in the school that consumes and affects the regulartime table of the school or that deviates the focus of students from regular course of study.

The Heads of Schools are advised to take note of the above and also bring it to the knowledge of schoolManaging Committee. Any violation of the guidelines of the Board would attract action against the erringschools.

NO. CBSE/ACAD/VIOLENCE IN SCHOOLS/2009 14th July 2009Circular No: 24

All the Heads of the institutionsAffiliated to CBSE.

SUBJECT: VIOLENCE AND RAGGING IN SCHOOLS AFFILIATED TO CBSE

Dear Principal,

It has been observed that ragging has raised its ugly head in schools and the recent violence reported in aprestigious institution is a matter of shock and grave concern.

Ragging is any disorderly conduct whether by words, spoken or written or by an act with the effect ofteasing, treating or handling with rudeness any other student. It also involves indulging in rowdy or indisciplinedactivities which is likely to cause annoyance or psychological harm or apprehension or fear in any student ordoing any act or performing something which a student will not do in the ordinary course and may cause shameor embarrassment or adversely affect the physique or psyche of one student by another.

Ragging is manifested in several aspects such as psychological, social, cultural and academic dimensions.Exploiting the relationship which has an inherent power structure such as between a senior and junior studentfor any of the factors mentioned above will fall under ragging .An act or abuse by spoken words, emails, publicinsults should be considered within the psychological aspects of ragging. Any act which affects the physical,mental, emotional - health, self confidence or self esteem of a student can be categorized as an aspect of ragging.

There have often been incidents of physical and sexual abuse in schools which are brushed under the carpetand not reported even to the parents as it may harm the reputation of the institute. This is a dangerous trend andneeds to be stopped immediately. Once these students are left unchecked, they will grow to plague society,hence it is imperative that any act of bullying or abuse, however small must not be allowed to go unnoticed.Moreover the traumatic aftermath of such an incident on the psyche of the victim cannot be undermined as itmay lead to irreversible damage.

The onus of preventing any undesirable aspect of ragging rests jointly and individually on all stakeholderswhich includes the head of the institution, teachers, non teaching staff, students, parents and the local community.A concerted effort by everyone concerned is the need of the hour.

The ambience and environment of a school should be warm and amiable where learning can take placemeaningfully and students can engage themselves in intellectual, social, physical and cultural pursuits.


What Needs To Be Done?

� A Committee, popularly known as Raghavan Committee, constituted by the Supreme Court of Indiato make suggestions for prevention of ragging in educational institutions has also made a strong casefor regular and periodic psychological counseling sessions for every student in the school.

� A school should preferably have a full time Counsellor at each level of schooling such as Primary,Upper-Primary and Secondary/Senior.

� At Secondary and Senior Secondary stages at least twenty sessions of psychological counseling mustbe provided to every student in an academic session. Parents and teachers may also be involved insuch sessions.

� ‘Health and Wellness Clubs’ already constituted by schools should act as monitoring cells formaintaining a constant vigil to promote preventive measures to curb violence in any form. Incase anyact of violence is reported, timely and prompt action must be taken.

� Manuals on Life Skills, Comprehensive School Health and Adolescence Education which containactivities on Value Systems, Human Rights, Gender Sensitivity, Self Esteem, InterpersonalCommunication, Coping with Stress, Dealing with Anger, Coping with Emotions, Empathy, andResisting Peer Pressure need to be religiously taken up in the activity periods. These can take the formof Role Plays, Street-Theatre (Nukkad Natak), Group-Discussions, Debates etc.

� Peer Educators and Peer Mentors need to be empowered to create awareness and monitor the sensitivezones in schools such as canteens, playgrounds, corridors, bathrooms and dormitories. Any untowardincident must be immediately reported.

� Counsellors in all schools and Wardens in boarding and residential schools need to be sensitized to thechanging dynamics of student interaction.They should be empathetic and approachable so that studentscan confide in them. The occurrence of such acts has more probability in case of residential schools dueto the amount of time spent together by students.

� Role of parents in Parent Teacher Meetings, representation in various other school committees andparticipation in Health Club initiatives must be reinforced. Incase a parent needs to report in confidenceabout any act of bullying, however minor, the Head of the Organisation must put a mechanism in placewhich must also be circulated to parents.

� “No Act of Violence which includes physical or sexual abuse, bullying or Ragging will go unnoticedor unpunished’ needs to be clearly stated in the prospectus and other guidelines circulated by theschool. Punishment to be meted out incase of a student caught in any act of ragging or bullying shouldalso be clearly spelt out. Parents as well as students need to be aware of the extent of punishmentpossible.

� Drastic action should be taken against the ragger without risking the identity of the victim. The victimneeds counseling which may be taken up by a peer mentor or Counselor.

� Punishment to be meted out must be commensurate with the gravity of the action. It may vary fromsuspension in attending classes, collective and heavy fine incase of group offenders and even go to theextent of rustication or expulsion.


� Life Skills are being reflected in the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation Card. Any form ofdeviant or aggressive behaviour must also be recorded in behavioural terms.

Any school which is found to default on any of the above directives will be penalized severely and stringentaction to the extent of disaffiliation may be taken against them. In all such cases it is the Head of the Organisationwho will be held accountable.

This may be brought to the notice of all the students, teachers and parents.

Yours sincerely,

Subject: Restriction in the use of Mobile Phones in Schools.

Dear Principal,

The ubiquitous Mobile Phone has seeped into the lives of every individual irrespective of whether they arestudents, teachers, professionals or others. It is imperative for us to reflect on this over dependence ontechnological interventions which can have both positive and negative impacts.

The use of Mobile Phones definitely needs to be restricted in school environments. The Board is of theopinion that all stakeholders connected with school education such as students, parents, teachers and heads ofinstitutes need to arrive at a consensus on the use of mobile phones in their schools and restricting its entry inthe school campus. This is because mobile phones can be a serious cause of distraction, lack of concentration,anxiety, fear and sometimes even misuse. Even if the mobiles are in silent mode they can be a source of disturbancewithin the classroom as students can make use of Short Messaging Service (SMS) during the class or evenduring an assignment. The cameras which are a common feature now in most mobile phones can also bemisused.

There have been enough lessons that have been learnt in the past regarding the use of mobile phones and theBoard strongly recommends that students should be convinced about not carrying mobile phones to the school.The principal, teachers and other staff should also not be seen using the mobile in classrooms, playgrounds,common areas, laboratories and other parts of the school premises.

The school authorities may provide land line telephone/s from where the teachers and students can makecalls in need and emergency, if necessary. There could be a centralized system of receiving and recording callsfor teachers and students of the school.

This may be brought to the notice of all teachers, other staff, students and parents so that a more meaningfullearning atmosphere can be created in the classroom which makes for a better ambience and school environment.

Yours sincerely

CM/CBSE/ACAD/HEALTH/2009 December 24, 2009Circular No. 65


Subject: Children with Special Needs (CWSN) – Integration.

Dear Principals,

Further to our Circular No. 45 dated 29th Oct.,2008 where schools were advised vide Annexure (enclosed)to ensure that no child with special needs is denied admission in main stream schools, it has been observed thatthere are many schools affiliated to CBSE which are not abiding by this directive.

There seems to be a misconception among schools and school authorities on various issues pertaining tochildren with special needs. The children with special needs face challenges in learning as they may not be ableto focus on the teacher during classroom interaction or their pace of learning may vary. Moreover social skillsand emotional skills may need to be further strengthened.

To overcome these problems generally an aid is given to the child. An aid is an adult sitting along withthe special child encouraging and motivating the child to move alongwith the class.

Schools are advised to allow parents when they make a request to provide an aid so that individual attentionis possible for the child and enables the student to grow and learn alongwith the other peers in the class.

Further inclusive education also needs to be done with an Individual Evaluation Program. Specificgoals should be set for each child with special need based upon the appraisal. For this purpose the schoolsneed to have a special educator as has already been recommended earlier.

It is being reiterated that any school which fails to provide attention to a child with special needs or makesa pretext of denying admission to any category of a differently abled child will be liable to stringent action evento the extent of disaffiliation.

The Guidelines on Inclusive Education of Children with Disabilities is once again enclosed for disseminationto all stakeholders which includes parents of the school.

Yours sincerely

(VINEET JOSHI)SECRETARY & CHAIRMAN

CBSE SCIECNE EXHIBTION 2010

Guidelines for preparation of Exhibits and Models

The importance of every sub-theme in the context of main theme and a number of suggestions for designingthe exhibits/projects are give below. However, these ideas are only suggestive. Participants are free to developexhibits based on other related ideas of their choice.

Sub-Theme 1: Climate change-causes and consequences

Climate change is emerging as perhaps the greatest environmental challenge of the 21st century. Scientistsare concerned that global warming caused by human activities has overtaken natural fluctuations in climate andthat this is having serious consequences for people and the planet earth. It can upset the delicate ecologicalbalance of the earth and its living organisms. Data of tree growth, tropical air temperature and carbon dioxideemission collected over 16 years indicate that a warming climate may cause the tropical forests to give off morecarbon dioxide than they take up.

The main objective of this sub-theme is to foster awareness about the causes and consequences of climatechange and to help children become environmentally and socially responsible global citizens. The exhibits/models in this sub-theme may pertain to:

� studies of impact of climate change on agriculture

� energy foot-print and methods to reduce greenhouse gases.

� conditions of drought, flood, famine and effective measures required to combat them

� activities that add/reduce carbon dioxide in atmosphere/demonstrate balancing of carbon cycle.

� estimating one’s carbon footprint on the globe

� measure to control air/water pollution/various methods of air/water purification/effect of pollution onliving beings.

� designs and development of automatic weather-recording devices.

� use of eco-friendly and innovative devices that may help in combating climate change.

Sub-theme 2: Green Energy

The term ‘green energy’ is used for those energy sources which are considered to be environment friendly.The term is synonymous with widely accepted term ‘renewable energy’. These energy sources are perceived toproduce fewer pollutants and result in lower environmental pollution and carbon emission. Some of the renewablesources of energy in India are solar energy, wind energy hydroelectric energy, Biomass energy etc.

The main objective of this sub-theme is to make children feel the need to study and analyse various aspectsof green energy-its generation, transmission, distribution and effective management. The exhibits/models inthis sub-theme may pertain to

� use of geo-stationary satellites in providing information pertaining to meterological processes.

Sub-theme 5: Mathematics and Everyday Life

The world of Mathematics provides us with an unlimited scope to perceive problems pertaining to threesituations visualized in the form of concrete, abstraction and intuition. It also deals with data, measurementsand observations from Science, mathematical models of natural phenomenon including human behaviour andsocial systems. As a science of abstract objects, mathematics relies on logic rather than on observation as itsstandard of truth, yet employs observation, simulation and even experimentation as means of discovering truth.The subject offers distinctive model of thoughts which are versatile and powerful, including mathematicalmodeling, optimization, logical analysis, inference from data and use of symbols. It also gives an exactness inthinking and provides a quantitative approach.

To encourage and stimulate students’ interest in Mathematics, some of the mathematical principles beingtransacted at school stage with their applications in every day life need to form the basis of projects/exhibitsunder this sub-theme.


The exhibits/models in this sub-themes may pertain to:

� principles of sequence and series in several spheres of human activities viz., calculating the amount ofmoney over certain period of time under given rate of simple interest or compound interest/findingdepreciated or increased value of a certain commodity over a period of time

Let us Treat the Intellectually Challenged with Compassion and Respect

The intellectually challenged are commonly referred to as “Retarded”; “Mental” and “Mad”. This is wrongand absolutely unacceptable in a civilized society. In fact the intellectually challenged can achieve much moregiven an opportunity. They are innocent and loving too.

Intellectually challenged are very sensitive. They feel deeply hurt when referred to as retarded. Unfortunatelythey can not fight back.

There is urgent need to correct this situation.

Please sign below and support the campaign to treat the intellectually challenged with respect, dignity andcompassion. Let us pledge to eradicate the usage of derogatory words like retarded, while referring to them.

ICT has permeated in every walk of life affecting the fields suchas launching satellites, managing businesses across the globe and also enabling social networking. Year by yearit is becoming simpler to use devices such as desktop palm top, iPod etc.

In its vision, the national Policy on ICT in School Education by MHRD Govt. of India states “The ICTpolicy in School Education aims at preparing youth to participate creatively in the establishment, sustenanceand growth of a knowledge society leading to all around social economic development of the nation and globalcompetitiveness”. The policy envisages three stages of ICT implementation at school level – ICT literacy andCompetency Enhancement, ICT enabled teaching – learning and introduction of ICT related elective subjects atSenior Secondary level. The National Curriculum Framework 2005 (NCF 2005) has also highlighted theimportance of ICT in school education. With this backdrop, major paradigm shift is imperative in educationcharacterized by technology enabled instructions, collaborative learning, multidisciplinary problem-solvingand promoting critical thinking skills.

Government of India has announced 2010-2020 as the decade of innovation. Reasoning and Critical thinkingskills are necessary for innovation. Foundation of these skills is laid at school level. It is desirable that affordableICT tools and techniques should be integrated into classroom instructions right from primary stage so as toenable students develop their requisite skills.

In CBSE circular number 07 dated 22 Feb 2010 it has been stated that the NCERT is contemplating toexploit the potential of WWW for improving the quality of Mathematics teaching in schools. The CBSE wouldlike to extend it to all subjects and all classes.

At Primary and Upper Primary level, focus may be on simple access to information and trying to compiledifferent views and analyze them to conclude in one’s own way. At the Secondary level, gathering and structuringof data and computing to arrive at some reports may be taken up in any subject, not necessarily Science andMathematics. At the Senior Secondary level, when students are so exposed, they will get highly motivated to


use ICT tools for taking up complex, multidisciplinary problems such as Biochemistry, Bioinformatics,Environmental Science, Forensic Science, Nanotechnology, Business Intelligence etc. This may necessitatecomputing tools and techniques of generic nature as well as domain specific. This is the time when the studentsand the teachers together will work in global competitive environment.

The schools affiliated to the CBSE have been at the forefront of adopting the most modern innovations andpractices to ensure there is a continuous enhancement in the overall quality of teaching and learning. The CBSEbelieves that it must bring the immense benefits of ICT and computing technology to every classroom across itsfraternity of affiliated schools to improve academic outcomes of learners and to enhance the productivity ofteachers in classrooms. This can be done by encouraging the use of technology in classroom teaching – learningand instant assessment which shall also go a long way in supporting its CCE initiative as well.

CCE in the right spirit entails periodic assessments which are integrated effectively in the classroom teachingand learning. In fact all assessments must inform teaching. Using technology helps to create interest amonglearners as, e.g., a quiz may be done online as part of formative assessment. Technology can greatly assistteachers in classrooms to teach difficult and abstract subject matter concepts effectively if the right digitalinstruction materials, supporting technology infrastructure and intensive training is provided to the teachers tosupport instruction.

As a note of caution, sometimes teachers are focused more on the new technology than on what studentsshould be learning. The focus on interactivity as a technical process can lead to some relatively mundaneactivities being over-valued.

One must realize that, technology is a tool to improve student learning. It can motivate and sustain studentinterest and reinforce learning, offer self-paced practice and create high-interest learning environment. However,technology cannot replace the teacher on quality teacher-student relationship. It cannot make a bad teacher intoa good teacher, but it can help a good teacher become an even better and more productive teacher.

Setting up a classroom equipped with LCD projector and facility for computer mediated instructions of thetype will aid the teacher in developing a quality teaching learning environment. Specifically such classroommust have:

a. A projection or display device which can project a sufficiently large image to be viewed by everystudent in the classroom with causing eyestrain.

b. An electronic interactive white board system

c. Computer with UPS system

d. Education content library mapped to CBSE curriculum topics covering all major subjects across allgrades.

e. Electronic Response system for each student to enable real time assessment

f. Resource person to help teachers on a day to day basis to use the digital classroom systems.

As a first step in this direction, all CBSE affiliated schools are advised to setup at least one classroom foreach class in their schools equipped with technology to enable usage of digital instruction materials in the


classroom so that students are given adequate exposure to digital materials. Schools are encouraged toprogressively move to enabling each classroom with technology for usage of digital materials in the classroom.

Students may be encouraged to form Creative Computing Club to try out innovative applications withoutany stress and compulsion. For future, schools can plan to setup every year more such classrooms prompt actionand reporting by schools in this direction will be highly appreciated by CBSE.

Yours faithfully,

CIRCULAR

The CBSE had stipulated certain conditions in the Affiliation Bye-Laws to ensure safety of students in theschools. The fulfillment of these conditions are supervised during the time of inspection of schools, but there isa need for a continuous verification of safety measures in the school as prescribed by the local authorities toensure safety of the children studying in the schools.

Two important issues the Board would like to bring to the immediate attention of the school authorities are:

1. School Building Safety

The judgement passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in the Writ Petition (Civil) No. 483 of 2004directed to ensure the following in all government and private schools functioning in our country:

(a) The school building is safe and secure from every angle and they are constructed according to the safetynorms incorporated in the National Building Code of India.

(b) All existing government and private schools shall install fire extinguishing equipments within a periodof six months.

(c) The school building be kept free from inflammable and toxic material. If storage is inevitable, theyshould be stored safely.

(d) Evaluation of structural aspect of the school building may be carried out periodically by strictly followingthe National Building Code.

(e) Necessary training be imparted to the staff and other officials of the school to use the fire extinguishingequipments.

All the Heads of Schools are, therefore to ensure that their institution is satisfying the norms set by theHon’ble Supreme Court of India.

The exigencies concerning medical care during school hours demands for developing a mechanism formedical crisis management in each school. Creation of safe, fearless and secure environment is theprime requirement for providing holistic education. There is a need to create basic Medical Care facilities andsystems in schools and also have tie up with a nearby hospital within a radius of 2-4 kms for any medicalemergency.


The above issues are brought to the immediate attention of the school authorities to discuss by the schoolmanagement to take appropriate steps in this regard. The issues should also be discussed with all the staffnumbers to bring greater awareness among the staff and to increase their sensitivity to these issues.

All the Heads of InstitutionsAffiliated to Board

Subject: Promoting Reading Habit among Students

Dear Principal,

CBSE issued circular no. 54, dated 21st October, 2009 highlighting the need for promoting reading habitamong children. With the introduction of Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation right from the primaryclasses, the importance of fostering interest for reading books among children of all ages has increased. It isessential that schools impress upon children that reading good books apart from the prescribed text books notonly widens their horizon but also uplifts their spirit by instilling in them higher values. Keeping this in mind,the Board has already sent as an annexure to the circular mentioned above a list of recommended books inEnglish for different age groups.

The Board had also requested the Association of Writers and Illustrators for Children to prepare a list ofIndian Authors and their books as suggested Reading Material for Classes 5–12. The list received from theAssociation is annexed to this circular.

The list is a representative selection of the work of different Indian authors and has been made keeping inmind the interests of children as well as educationists. It includes genres such as science fiction, historicalfiction, mystery, adventure, real life stories, environment, sports, plays etc. The Board is confident that therecommended books will provide good values to children through entertaining and interesting reading materialthey can identify with.

The Circular No. 54 mentioned above also contains information about the purpose of reading, the skills tobe developed and the techniques and procedures that can be adopted to enrich the reading experience of students.As part of the Formative Assessment reading projects can be undertaken in a systematic manner. You arerequested to discuss the contents of this circular and the circular No. 54 under reference with your teachers andlibrarian and develop an effective action plan for promoting the reading habit among students.


Schools are also encouraged to prepare lists of other good books and also books in regional languages oftheir choice. The Board will also send a list of recommended books in Hindi in due course. The overall aim is topromote good reading habits in students for holistic development.

Yours sincerely,

CBSE SCIENCE EXHIBITION 2011

Guidelines for preparation of Exhibits and Models

In order to facilitate the preparation of exhibits and models for display and the organization of State LevelScience Exhibitions during 2011, six subthemes have been identified. These are:

1. Biodiversity: Conservation and Sustenance;

2. Agriculture and technology;

3. Green Energy;

4. Transport and Communication;

5. Community Health and Environment; and

6. Mathematical Modeling.

The importance of each subtheme in the context of the main theme and number of ideas for development ofexhibits are given below. However, these ideas are only suggestive. Participants are free to develop exhibitsbased on other related ideas of their choice.

Sub-Theme 1: Biodiversity: Conservation and Sustenance

Biodiversity (or biological diversity) refers to variability of living organisms of terrestrial, marine and otheraquatic ecosystems. Entire aspect of biodiversity can be grouped in three categories i.e, Genetic Diversity(variations of genes within the organisms of a species), Species Diversity (variation of species within a region)and Ecosystem Diversity (variation in the form of vegetation and other wild life in a broad ecosystem). Humanhas always been the greatest beneficiary of the biodiversity as it provides food, medicines and industrial products.It is estimated that the total number of species variety of different living forms are around 10 millions. Out ofsuch an enormous number, only 1.5 millions have been identified so far. Such a variety of living organisms isimportant from the point of view of sustenance of life forms on earth. All these varieties of various life formshave coevolved over the period of time since the origin of life on earth. The variety of different species, theirhabitats and ecosystem help maintaining a balance of life forms as well as resources on earth. A drastic changein the habitat or ecosystem leads to depletion in the variety of species and also extinction.

Thus protection and conservation of biodiversity is not only important from the point of view of fulfillmentof our need, rather it is equally or even more important for the very survival of human and other living organismson the earth. Also, we need to understand the concept of a strong, safe and secure nation. For this, we must notforget the aspects of a healthy, productive and safe environment besides food, education, economy and nationalsecurity.

Sub-theme 6: Mathematical Modelling

Mathematical modeling is the process of transformation of a physical situation into mathematical analogieswith appropriate conditions. Physical situation need some physical insight into the problem. Then it is solvedby using various mathematical tools like percentage, area, surface area, volume, time and work, profit and loss,differential equations, probability, statistics, linear, nonlinear programming, etc. It is a multistep process involvingidentifying the problem, constructing or selecting appropriate models, fighting out what data need to be collected,deciding number of variables and predictors to be chosen for greater accuracy, testing validity of models,calculating solution and implementing the models. It may be an iterative process where we start from a crudemodel and gradually refine it until it is suitable for solving the problem and enables us to gain insight andunderstanding of the original situation. It is an art, as there can be a variety of distinct approaches to the modeling,as well as science, for being tentative in nature.

In mathematical modeling, we neither perform any practical activity nor interact with the situation directly,e.g. we do not take any sample of blood from the body to know the physiology, and still our mathematical toolsreveal the actual situations. The rapid development of high speed computers with the increasing desire for theanswers of everyday life problems have led to enhanced demands of modeling almost every area. The objectiveof this subtheme is to help children to analyse how mathematical modeling can be used to investigate objects,events systems and processes.

Subject: Observing Vigilance Awareness Week, 2011 in schoolsDear Principal,

The Central Vigilance Commission, which has a special responsibility under para 3(v) of Government ofIndia Resolution no 371/20/99/AVD-III dated 4.4.1999, declares that the week beginning from 31st Octoberevery year should be observed as the Vigilance Awareness Week to commemorate the birthday of the Bismarckof India, Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel.

Since, the subjects of Physics, Chemistry and Biology also contain practical component which the visuallyimpaired students will not be able to attempt, CBSE has decided to provide separate question papers in lieu ofPracticals to visually impaired students, containing Multiple Choice Questions, based on the Practical content.

This new scheme will be implemented for students of Class XI from 2012, March examination and forstudents of Class XII from 2013 Board examination.

All the Heads of the Institutions affiliated to CBSE Circular 74/2011Academic institutions granting admission for higher education,Prospective employers,

Subject: National Academic Depository (NAD)

Dear Principal,

Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) has initiated the process for establishment of a“National Academy Depository (NAD)” i.e. national database of academic qualifications in an electronicformat. This database would facilitate online verification of academic awards issued by boards and universitiesthereby eliminating attempts to use fake/ forged academic certificates.

The NAD will provide interface to various agencies (academic institutions granting admission for highereducation, prospective employers, background checkers etc.) who intend to verify online whether such anacademic qualification has been issued by the institution.

The MHRD asked CBSE to carry out pilot project so as to eliminate initial hurdles if any. The pilot has beenundertaken with two agencies namely Central Depository Services (India) Ltd. (CDSL) and National SecuritiesDepositories Limited (NSDL) as these two were the only depositories registered with Security Exchange Boardof India.

The pilot project was awarded to CDSL and NSDL in the month of Jan.2011. The agencies worked on thepilot in close collaboration with the CBSE and completed the pilot which has been built, owned and operated bythese organizations. The depositories under NAD would perform the specified functions as mentioned below:

• Registration of various entities (academic institutions granting admission for higher education, prospectiveemployers, background checkers etc.) in NAD,


• Upload of details of academic qualifications by registered academic institutions (boards/universities),

• Verification of awards by (schools, colleges, and business firms etc. who are registered with NAD,

• Mapping of academic awards (Certificate holders who get registered with NAD have the facility ofmapping their academic awards available in the system to their NAD account by submitting a request toNAD agent. Once the awards are mapped, certificate holder will be able to view his awards under asingle view in his login.)

• Request for issuance of ‘Authentication Certificate’ (Registered certificate holder can request NAD toissue authentication certificate / mark sheet.

Features of NAD:

• NAD can hold details of academic awards of the candidates in electronic form. NAD will containcentralised database that will host information of academic awards issued by various institutions.

• Various academic degree granting institutions, boards, universities such as central universities, stateuniversities, deemed universities, IITs, IIMs, school boards etc. can establish connectivity with NAD toupload details of academic awards.

• NAD can be accessed online by all authorised academic institutions admitting students for highereducation, employers, and government organisations etc. for verification of academic awards ofprospective candidates.

• NAD can also forward a printed transcript of the academic qualification (Authentication Certificate /Mark sheet) on the request of the certificate holder. This facility may be used by employers, corporations,government organisations who may insist on authentication certificate for their records.

• While the total access to NAD will be online, NSDL/CDSL will establish network of NAD Agents forcandidates to submit dematerialisation requests of past academic awards and requests for authenticationfrom NAD.

• The system has the necessary security feature to ensure that only authorized users have access toauthorized functions.

• The system will also provide for integration with the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).

As part of pilot implementation, CBSE has made available the academic awards of Central Teacher’sEligibility Test (CTET) 2011 and CBSE Board XIIth Standard Exam 2011 on the NAD portals. The pilotproject will be in operation for three months and after successful completion of pilot, MHRD will consider finalaward of contract.

NAD provides interface to various agencies who intend to verify online whether an academic qualificationhas been issued by the CBSE. Entities that are desirous of availing online verification of the academic awardsof the above mentioned examinations can register online at following NAD portals:


NAD Portals Email id for clarifications if required

Subject: Amendment/Additions in Guidelines for Centre Supdt./SpotEvaluation and Observation Schedule for Senior School Certificate(Class XII) and Secondary (Class X) Examination, 2008

Dear Principal,

Let me take this opportunity to extend my very warm greetings to you for the New year and express myvery sincere thanks to you for extending your unqualified support to CBSE in the conduct of 2005 exams.

1. You are aware that class XlI & X examinations are to begin from lst March, 2008. Through this letter, Iwant to invite your attention to some of the critical issues that have a bearing on people’s trust in ourexamination system. It is our bounden duty to sustain this trust.

2. Firstly, it is essential that the conduct of examination does not appear to be fair only but should enjoythe complete confidence and trust of the public at large. This is an onerous task. It would demand wholehearted dedication of functionaries at various levels involved in the examination. I hope, we will dischargeour responsibilities in a team spirit no matter wherever we happen to be placed.

3. Linked with the conduct of examinations are the perceptions & reactions, about the question papersadministered in different subjects. These reactions are received from the diversified groups spread allover the country and also from abroad: Interest groups, more so the schools and the students have everyright to air their views on the quality of question papers administered. But this right puts an addedresponsibility on them to see that the observations and comments are not made to gain cheap popularity.Rather these should be made to strengthen the System. We should also keep in mind that duringexaminations, examinees are under heavy stress and anxiety and our adverse views on the questionpapers through different media often upset them in their preparations of future examinations. It wouldtherefore. be advisable that the schools should send their reactions and perception- direct to the Boardinstead of expressing them to the media.

4. To give a fair deal to the comments on the question papers and redress the genuine grievances of


students, CBSE has developed an Observation Schedule, a copy of which is enclosed. In case you haveyour observations about a question paper, these may please be recorded and forwarded as per directionscontained therein within twenty four hours of the conduct of examination of the subject concerned sothat these observations could be considered by the expert group while preparing the marking scheme.

5. Careful marking of scripts and timely declaration of result is our paramount concern. To ensure this weneed quality examiners in adequate numbers. It has been observed in the past that some schools underone pretext or the other do not relieve the teachers for evaluation work and the Board has to remindthem in the midst of the evaluation work. This is an undesirable practice. I would, therefore, appeal toyou to relieve your teachers for evaluation work instead of complaining about the quality of markingsubsequently. Teachers selected for evaluation work must report on the appointed date and time. This isessential because on the first day. Marking Schemes are studied, discussed and clarified to the examiners.Non-release ofteachers may compel the Board to delay the declaration of result of the defaultingInstitutions and also initiate disaffiliation proceedings.

6. I request you to participate willingly and not reluctantly. Rather advise your teachers to be regular andvery serious in marking as it amounts to professional judgement on 10 to 12 years of hard work put inby the Examinees. If you happen to be the Head Examiner/Additional Head Examiner please ensurethat the sample checking of answer books of each evaluator is just not a routine. It should conform tothe Marking Scheme so that it provides academic guidance to the evaluators for objective and unifonnevaluation.

7. For 2008 Examinations, some new instructions have been provided in the Guidelines to the CentreSuperintendents/Guidelines for Spot Evaluation. You are requested to kindly read these instructionscarefully, I am enclosing a compiled list of these instructions as Annexure ‘A’ for your ready reference.In the end, I once again request you to please extend your willing co-operation to the Board in thesmooth and fair conduct of examinations. I am sure, with your active support we shall be able to preservethe sanctity of the system and avoid criticism. Needless to mention that we all are custodian of examinees’faith and we have to preserve it at all cost.

With warm regards.

Yours sincerely,

(M.C. Sharma)Controller of Examinations

Heads of all the

Affiliated Schools of the Board

Sir,

As you are aware vide Rule 24(iii , visually and hearing impaired candidates have the option of studyingone compulsory language as against two. This language has to be in consonance with the overall spirit of theThree Language Formula prescribed by the Board. Besides one language, they have the option of offering anyfour of the following subjects:

Mathematics, Science, Social Science, another language, Music, Painting, Home Science, IntroductoryInformation Techlolory, Commerce (Elements of Business) & Commerce (Elements of Book Keepingand Accountancy).

It has been observed that blind candidates want to study subjects like Music, Home Science etc., but thesecandidates are deprived of offering these subjects because most of the schools don’t have affiliation for thesesubjects. In order to facilitate the blind candidates the Board has decided that subjects which are not available inthe school can be offered by the blind candidates and they can study these subjects privately as subjects ofextended learning.

This facility is in addition to the concessions given to physically handicapped candidates circulated videthis office Circnlar No. COORD/P/DO/F-08/2006 dated 25.10.2006.

No. F-2-1/VOC (PCE)/FMM/CBSE/2008 Circular No. 13/08

7th April, 2008To

All Heads of Institutions which haveIntroduced FMM course 2007-08

Subject: Practical Examination for FMM Course Introduction to FinancialMarkets-I for 11th class.

Sir

As you are aware in the Financial Markets Management (FMM) course, one of the 3 compulsory papers forskill building I professional competency development is titled Introduction to Financial Markets-I.

One of the very strong salient features of FMM is development of ernployable skills. The success of FMMwill depend upon whether students on completion of this course are able to acquire necessary competence andskills for financial markets.

In Stock and Commodity Markets, both speed and accuracy are extremely important. Due to globalisation,entry of FIIs (Foreign Institutional Investors), instant spread of information (impacting the share prices) throughelectronic and print media such as T.V. channels, Internet, introduction of futures and options, the share andcommodity markets have become highly volatile. This calls for executing the buy, I sell orders at high speed totake advantage of best rates (lowest while buying and highest while selling).

However, while it is important to execute orders with speed, the accuracy while entering an order cannot beignored. The loss from a wrong entry of a buy or sell order can cause very serious financial loss to the client(s)ranging from few hundreds to lakhs or crores depending upon the quantity and pice of a scrip. Therefore, stockand commodity markets require 100% accuracy while entering orders.

As required by CBSE, BLB Institute of Financial Markets (BIFM) has developed a mock trading softwarecalled TiadeSenseTM. The TradeSenseTM has been designed to develop practieal skills of speed and accuracy instock market through step by step process. This will be achieved by a modular approach through 6 modules, 3each for 11th & 1st class respectively.

Modules for llth Class

1. Numeric Speed Booster (NSB): To help students gain command in finger setup on Numeric Pad.

2. Tiade Function Builder (TFB): To help students develop speed and accuracy without trading.

3. Precision Builder (PB): To build order punching accuraey in simulated trading.


A unique feature of TradeSenseTM is a large number of user friendly reports for the students as well asschool principals. It is also possible for the CBSE and NSE to monitor the progress of all the schools andstudents through TradeSense software.

At CBSE Headquarters, we also monitor the progress of developrnent of practical skills through TradeSensesoftware. It is found that the progress of some of the schools/students is not satisfactory and they are not givingadequate attention for practical. This being a skill orientecl course without devoting required time of 60 hoursof practical, FMM will fail, defeating the very purpose of launching this course.

In view of the above, it is advised that school should conduct the practical examination only after each ofthe student has practiced at east for 60 hours. Schools can conduct the practicai exarninaticn through TradeSenseTM

software as per detailed procedure given in the software itself, The practical examination will consist of 3 partsas given below:

S. Module Time Max. PassNo. (Minutes) Marks Marks

1. Multiple Choice Questions 10 10 3

2. Trade Function Builder 10 15 5

3. Precision Builder 10 15 5

Total 30 40 30

l. Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs): Written multiple choice questicns (MCQs) of 10 Marks. Thiscan be conducted by schools themselves.

1(a) Salient Features of the NEAT - 5 Marks

� Key Functions

� Buy, Sell, Order Modification (OM) & Order Cancellation (OC)

1(b) Introduction to Trading Systems - 5 Marks

� BSE Tiading System: Bombay Online Trading System (BOLT)

� NSE Trading System: National Exchange For Automated Trading (NEAT)

� Open Dealer Integrated Network Trading system (ODIN)

As per the existing procedure schools who have introduced FMM can promote students from 11th to 12thclass, pending holding of online examination by NSE called NCFM Financial Markets - Beginner’s Modulebetween 15th May to 30th June. During teacher’s training at BLB Institute of Financial Markets, teachers haveinformed that the students could not devote required 60 hours for practical due to various reasons such as newsubject internet non availability, lack of trained manpower etc.

In view of the above for proper skill development, the practical exarnination can be conducted befcre 30thJure 2008, as in the case of NCFM examination. Students of FMM can appear/re-appear for practical examinationafter devoting a minimum of 60 hours of practical on Trade Sense.

Yours faithfully,

To

Heads of all theaffiliated Schools of the Board

Subject: Requirement of 75% of attendance in Class X/XII

Sir/Madam,

As you are aware that as per Examination Bye-laws of the Board, it is essential for every student to complete75% of attendances counted from the opening of Class X/XII upto the first of the month preceding the month inwhich the examination commences. The students who have not completed a regular course of study i.e, havenot completed 75% of attendance in Class X/XII are not eligible to appear for the Board’s Examination of ClassXD([I

Given below is the relevant extract of Rule l3.2 of the Examination Bye-laws.

No student from a School affiliated to the Board shall be eligible to take the examination unless he hascompleted 75% af attenadances counted from the appearing of class IX/X/XI/XII upto the first of the monthpreceding the month in which the examination commences in the subjects of internal assessment.

It is pertinent to mention here that every year in the month of February, even in the first week of March i.e.at the time of commencement of Board’s Exam, the Board starts receiving requests from large number ofcandidates/schools requesting the Chairman to condone the shortage of attendance. It is further stated thatshortage up to 15% of attendance only may be condoned by the Chairman on the recommendation of thePrincipal of the School. The candidates/parents while representing the matter to the Board invariably state thattheir school has never informed them about the shortage of attendance.

In view of above, I am writing to request you to bring the above essential condition of completion of 75%attendance to the notice of all the candidates and their parents whose names have been sponsored by your


school for Board’s Examination-2009. In those cases where students are not regularly attending the schools forvarious different reasons whatsoever may be, the rule position of the Board must be brought to their notice inwriting.

An immediate action in the matter would be appreciated and the parents and students be informed that in thecase of shortage of attendance without valid reasons, they would not be permitted to appear for Board’sexamination. We are sure that once the students are aware of the necessity of completing 75% of attendance,majority of students would certainly attend the classes regularly. This would reduce large number of requestsfor condonation at the last minute.

Kind1y acknowledge receipt.

Yours faithfully,

M.C. SHARMACONTROLLER OF EXAMINATION

SO(COORD)/2011 9th February 2011

Subject: Amendment/Additions in Guidelines for Centre Superintendents/Spot Evaluation and Observation Schedule for Senior School Cer-tificate (Class XII) and Secondary School (Class X) Examination,2011

Dear Principal,

Let me take this opportunity to extend my very warm greetings to you for the New Year and express myvery sincere thanks to you for extending your unqualified support to CBSE in the conduct of 2010 examination.

1. You are aware that class X & XII examinations are to begin from 1st March, 2011. Through this letter,I want to invite your attention to some of the critical issues that have a bearing on people's trust in ourexamination system. It is our bounden duty to sustain this trust.

2. Firstly, it is essential that the conduct of examination does not appear to be fair only but should enjoythecomplete confidence and trust of the public at large. This is an onerous task. It would demand wholehearted dedication of functionaries at various levels involved in the examination. I hope, we will dischargeour responsibilities in a team spirit no matter wherever we happen to be placed.

3. Linked with the conduct of examinations are the perceptions & reactions about the question papersadministered in different subjects. These reactions are received from the diversified groups spread allover the country and also from abroad. Interest groups, more so the schools and the students have everyright to air their views on the quality of question papers administered. But this right puts an addedresponsibility on them to see that the observations and comments are not made to gain cheap popularity.Rather these should be made to strengthen the system. We should also keep in mind that duringexaminations, examinees are under heavy stress and anxiety and our adverse views on the questionpapers through different media, often upset them in their preparations of future examinations. It would,therefore, be advisable that schools should send their reactions and perceptions direct to the Boardinstead of expression them to the media.

4. To give a fair deal to the comments on the question papers and redress the genuine grievances ofstudents, CBSE has developed an Observation Schedule, a copy of which is enclosed in case you have


your observations about a question paper, these may please be recorded and forwarded as per directionscontained therein within twenty four hours of the conduct of examination of the subject concerned sothat these observations could be considered by the expert group while preparing the marking scheme.You are aware that with the introduction of Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation w.e.f.2009-2011 session, the first batch of class X student will be appearing for the 2011 examination.The Board will be having two sets of students appearing for the Summative Assessment II - oneset appearing for Board conducted and the second set appearing for school conducted SummativeAssessment II. The observations on the question paper administered for Board conductedSummative Assessment II should onlybe sent to the board within twenty four hours of the conductof the examination of the subject concerned.

5. Careful marking of script and timely declaration of results in our paramount concern. To ensure this weneed quality examiners in adequates numbers. It has been observed in the past that some Schools underour pretext or the other do not relieve the teachers for evaluation work and the Board has to remindthem in the midst of the evaluation work. This is an undesirable practice. I would, therefore, appeal toyou to relieve your teachers for evaluation work instead of complaining about the quality of markingsubsequently. Teachers selected for evaluation work must report on the appointed data and time.This is essential because of the first day, Marking Schemes are studied, discussed and clarified tothe examiners. Non-release of teachers may compel the Board to delay the declaration of result ofthe defaulting institutions and also initiate disaffiliation proceedings.

6. I request you to participate willinglyand not reluctantly. Rather advise your teachers to be regular andvery serious in making as it amounts to professional judgement on 10 to 12 years of hard work put in bythe examinees. If you happen to be the Head Examiner/Additional Head Examiner please ensure thatthe sample checking of answer books of each evaluator is just not a routine. It should conform to theMarking Scheme so that it provides academic guidance to the evaluators for objective and uniformevaluation.

7. In order to preserve the sanctity of the system and avoid criticism, I request the principals appointed asChief Nodal Supervisors to provide logistic and administrative support to the Head Examiners and alsoto ensure that the answer books are evaluated as per the instructions/marking scheme(s) provided by theBoard.

8. For 2011 examinations, some new instructions have been provided in the Guidelines for the CentreSuperintendents/Guidelines for Spot Evaluation. You are requested to kindly read these instructionscarefully, I am enclosing a compiled list of these instructions as annexure 'A' for your ready reference.

In the end, I once again request you to please extend your willing co-operation to the Board in the smoothand fair conduct of examinations. I am sure, with your active support we shall be able to preserve the sanctity ofthe system and avoid criticism. Needles to mention that we all the custodian of examinees faith and we have topreserve it at all cost.

With warm regards,Yours sincerely,

M.C. SHARMA

This is in continuation of our Circular No.43/2010 dated 02.08.2010 regarding conduct of Classes IX and XExamination under Summative Assessment-I held in September, 2010.

As you are aware, the Central Board of Secondary Education has introduced Examination Reforms andContinuous & Comprehensive Evaluation(CCE) in i t s schools since last academic year 2009-10 and thedetailed scheme has already been intimated to all Heads of schools vide CBSE’s previous circulars.

2. The scheme is in operation in all CBSE affiliated schools in Class IX since last year. As per the scheme, fourFormative Assessments and two Summative Assessments would be held in an academic year. The first SummativeAssessment (SA-I) for this term for Classes IX and X has been conducted in the second half of September,2010.

3. Under the School Based Summative Assessment-II, the students will be tested internally based on thefollowing criteria:

a) Syllabus and Examination Question Paper Design in different subjects for Classes IX and X SummativeAssessment will be the same as circulated by the Board earlier. The same is also available on CBSEwebsite www.cbse.nic.in under CCE corner.

b) As was done earlier, the Summative Assessment-II will be in the form of a pen-paper test conducted bythe schools themselves.

c) In order to ensure standards, the Question Paper Bank in different subjects would be sent by the Boardso as to reach schools well in time.

d) Evaluation of answer scripts will be done by the school teachers themselves on the basis of the MarkingScheme provided by the Board. The school may use the Sahodaya School Cluster for spot evaluation sothat teachers from other schools are also involved, if they so wish.


e) There will be random verification of the assessment procedures of schools by the Board officials/nomineesappointed by the Board.

4. It has been decided to provide Question Paper Banks for English Communicative, English Language &Literature, Hindi-A, Hindi-B, Mathematics, Science, Social Science and Communicative Sanskrit. In respect ofother subjects/languages, the schools will administer their own question papers based on Sample QuestionPaper pattern available on the Board’s website.

5. The Board will be sending separate CDs containing Question Paper Banks for Classes IX & X and theschool may:

i) pick up one question paper for each subject, OR

mix and match the paper by using different questions/sections from different sets of question papersand prepare a question paper based on Board’s sample paper, design and blue print, OR

prepare their own question papers as per sample paper, design and blue print available on CBSE’swebsite (www.cbse.nic.in). However, in case the school prepares its own question papers, the questionpapers and marking scheme so prepared should be emailed to the Board (email id:[email protected])for verification within a week of conduct of the respective papers.

ii) For Class IX, the Board plans to dispatch the CDs containing question papers to all schools so as toreach by 20t h February, 2011.

6. The schools need to take out the print of the desired question paper (refer para 5 above) and, thereafter, therequired number of prints/copies may be made at the school level. These question papers must be kept carefully.

7. The schools will conduct the SA-II for Class IX during the first half of March, 2011; the SA-II forClass-X will be conducted during the second half of March, 2011.

Moreover, it may be ensured that in case of Summative Assessment-II for Class X, the dates for thesubjects of English (Communicate/Language & Literature) and Science are kept after 23rd March, 2011.

8. Another CD containing the Marking Scheme of the main subjects would be sent to every school separatelyin due course and wi l l reach the schools well in time.

9. The answer books should be evaluated by teachers as per the marking scheme provided by the Board.

10. KINDLY NOTE THAT ANSWER BOOKS OF SCHOOL BASED SA-II FOR CLASSES IX AND XSHOULD NOT BE SENT TO THE BOARD UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. However these must bepreserved and kept in the safe custody at the school for at least a period of three years (in case of Class IX) andtwo years (in case of Class X) along with question papers and Marking Scheme for any verification by theBoard subsequently.

11. It may be noted again that the question papers for Classes IX and X have been designed by the Board and


are being sent to schools with the purpose of maintaining standards. Depending upon the feedback and suggestionsfrom the stakeholders, the Board may reconsider this policy in future, if need be.

Dear Principal,

Subject: Use of Mathematics Laboratory in the School - Reg

As you are aware, the CBSE had introduced the concept of Mathematics Laboratory in the affiliated schoolslast year. In order to facilitate the schools to understand the philosophy behind the concept of MathematicsLaboratory the Board had also issued “Guidelines to Schools for Mathematics Laboratory”.

The objectives behind the introduction of Mathematics Laboratory were:

1. The fear for study of Mathematics should be diffused.

2. The learning of Mathematics should be made more pragmatic and life-oriented at the school level.

3. There is a need to improve the pedagogy in Mathematics to enhance analyical and critical thinking.

4. The learning of Mathematics could be linked with other subjects to develop interdisciplinary thinking.

5. The tools and instruments for practical verification of mathematical concepts could be locally designedby innovative methods.

6. The students could be evaluated on their mathernatical skills by continuous and comprehensive evaluation.

This book brought various methods of by which the learning of Mathematics could be more pragmatic andinteresting. The efforts made by the Board are only suggestive and not prescriptive. This facilitates the schoolsand teachers to make their own models and designs so that the interest and aptitude in the study and perforrnancein Mathematics could be improved.

The Board recommends that all the affiliated schools should immediately make necessary initiatives to startthe Mathematics Laboratory for classes III to VIII and integrate the evaluation of practical competencies inMathematics in the evaluation of the subject. The Board expects all the affiliated schools to have their MathematicsLaboratories ready by 31st March, 2005 in order that the future strategies in this regard could be put in place.The Board intends to extend the evaluation of these competencies as apart of its internal continuous andcomprehensive evaluation at the secondary stage shortly.

The irnmediate initiatives taken by the schools to set up Mathenraties latroratories would give enough and


adequate time for them to plant their future strategies. It will give further scope for extending these facilities tothe secondary classes also so that the internal evaluation in Mathematics at the secondary stage becomes possible.

Given the fact that enormous academic resources are available in the country the schools should tap thelocal resources in developing a meaning and tool for the concept development pedagogy and evaluation in thissubject. The Board looks forward to fresh and newer initiatives to make the leaining of Mathematics morepurposeful, integrated and pragmatic.

The Board would be happy to receive short profiles of the initiatives taken by the schools in this regard overa period of time so that the experiences can be shared with the larger school community.

Yoursfaithfully

Introduction of Mathematics Laboratory and InternalAssessment in Secondary Classes

As you are well aware, study of Mathematics has been cental to all leaming systems from time immemorial.As a vital component of the 3R’s, emphasis has always been laid on the basic skills of numbers and theirextensive use in giving a form and name to several of the thought pattems of human cognition and understanding.Over the centuries, mathematics has developed as a discipline of study with a focus, a purpose and a scheme.The various inputs to learning of mathematics have aimed at developing certain basic and essential skills for itsuse in daily life as well as in furtherance of knowledge.

Over the years, an apparent complexity seems to have appeared in the content and the processes involved inthe learning of mathematics especially at the school level. Concepts of mathematics are seen as difficult tounderstand and appreciate, thanks to some myth associated in the transaction of the curriculum. Fear for theleaming of the subject increases the resistance to the learning process. The situation needs to be attended to. Theremedy lies in creating a right ambience for the learning of the subjeet. It lies in redesigning the transaction ofthe curriculum in which the paradigm of learning would help in developing a familiarity and ownership of thesubject. It lies in creating a conducive environntent in the classroom where the learner learns the basic andessential concepts and skills by doing simple activities. It is in this direction, CBSE has endeavored to launchthe idea of Mathematics Laboratory in schools. The Board has instructed all the schools to open a MathematicsLaboratory in their campus to facilitate the effective leaming of Mathematics. Guidelines to schools have beenprepared and sent.

What could be done in Mathematics laboratory?

Mathematics Laboratory should facilitate in doing simple experiments and projects that would lead toempowerment of the following skills among the learners:

� Numerical skills

� Observation skills

� Thinking skills

� Analytical skills

� Understanding logic

� Skills of comparing

� Skills of interpretation

� Problem solving skills

� Decision making skills

� Spatial analysis and interpretation

� Life skills

� Skills of games

Many similar skills could be identified and nurtured.


How could the above be achicved?

The Board feels that the establishment of a Mathematics Laboratory does not involve a high cost. Most ofthe above skills could easily be developed by using indigenous materials like paper, sticks, pins, thread, plywood,cardboards and several other simple locally available materials. It is not necessary that the schools shouldalways adopt established result-oriented practical work. The objective of the laboratory is to promote criticalthinking and ability to approach a problem in different ways. It calls for firing the imagination of the learners sothat they are creative and contributive. In all such exercises; the processes are more important than the products.It is therefore essential that our students are exposed to think differently and approach problems without anyfear. It calls for taking the concepts of Mathematics beyond the limitations of the text books. The Board believesthat such open ended approach, if carried out with a sense of sincerity of purpose among the affiliated schoolscould bring about an entirely positive leaming atmosphere in the schools.

The space required for doing such exercise is quite limited. Though the schools should endeavor to establisha separate unit for the Mathematics laboratory so that it remains in focus, the absence of adequate space inschools currently should not hinder the cause. A vibrant classroom can also be a temporary MathematicsLaboratory. In case of inadequacy of classrooms, even space/corners in the floors can be dedicated to theMathematics Laboratory. It is the type of work that is being done-that matters more than where exactly it isconducted, though a rightful place for Mathematics laboratory would add a flavour to the cause and the concept.

Internal Assessrnent in Mathematics

As an extension of the above intent of the Board to make the learning of Mathematics a more purposefulexercise, the Board has decided to provide scope for internal assessment in Mathematics. The need for internalassessment arises from the fact that the motivation, commitnent and the imaginative faculties of the learner inany discipline cannot be evaluated through a one-shot examination at the end of an academic year. It has to beseen through over a period of time and assessed by the teacher who is a witness to the process of growth anddevelopment.

It is also felt that the objective is not to merely evaluate a learner in a public examination and award marks,but a paradigm shift to self-actualized learning in the classroom and in the extended hours of schooling. Keepingthis in view the Board has decided to award 20 marks for the intemal assessment of the learners in the secondaryclasses.

The distribution of Marks will be as under:

� Evaluation of skills 10 Marks

� Assessment of Record work 5 Marks

� Assessment through Summative andformativetests 5 Marks


How would the evaluation be done?

Step I : Evaluation of skills 10 Marks

1. The assessment would be on any two skills.

2. The assessment would be done during the course of a test spread over a period of an hour and a half fora group of students not exceeding twenty in number.

3. The assessment will be done at the end of the class IX as well as class X independently by the school.

4. The Board would be listing different types of skills in its publication to be brought out specifically forthis purpose. The type of skills would be separately listed for classes IX as well as X. However, theschools are free to identify and test similar skills or applications based on the above to testflre thinkingfaculties of the learners.

Distibution of Marla will be as follows:

� Drawing a road-map or flow chart for solving the problem - 2 marks

� Interpretation of the concepts involved in the problem - 2 marks

� Assessment of the hands-on skills (how the students have used materials/sketches/other appliances) - 2marks

� Recording and reporting procedures - 2 marks

The schools would keep a record of the skills tested and the modus operandi of the procedures adopted forthe above evaluation for verification by the Board whenever necessary for a period of six months. The evaluationwill be internal and done by a team of two teachers of the school teaching mathematics at the secondary, orsenior school level.

Step 2: Assessment of the Record - work done: 5 Marks

The students would be required to do at least 10 skill based activities in the course of the academic yearbased on the skills listed in page 1 of the circular or related skills. Suggestive activities will also be found in thebook to be brought out by the Board. However, the school would be free to suggest related activities outsidethose suggested by the board or facilitate the students to design related activities which would enhance theircreative skills and critical thinking competencies. A record of the work done shall be maintained by the student.The same will be assessed at the end ofthe academic year in Class IX and in the month of December in Class X.

The skill based activities will carry five marks. The record work shall be maintainecl by the school concernedand would be subject to the inspection ofthe Board, if found necessary.


Step 3: Assessment through summative and formative tests 5 Marks

Continuous Assessment will be an input of the reflection of the performance of the students in their first andsecond terminal examinations. Five marks are allotted for the same.

How could the marks be allotted?

Different shategies are recommended for class IX and class X.

For class IX

� Reduce the marks of the first term examination (Aug-Sept) to ten and work out the achievement of thestudent.

� Reduce the marks of the second term examination (Nov-Dec) to ten and work out the achievement ofthe student.

� Add the values of both and thus the achievement of the learner works out to their performance out oftwenty Reduce the same to the achievement out of 5.

� It the achievement of the candidate works out to a decimal, round it off to the next higher value if it is0.5 and above. If it is less than 0.5 then round it off to the lower number.

For class X

Reduce the marks of the final assessment of class IX to ten and work out the achievement of the student.

Reduce the marks of the first term examinations of class X to ten and work out the achievement of thestudent.

Add the value of both and thus the achievement of the learner works out to their performance out oftwenty.

Reduce the same to the achievement out of 5.

If the achievement of the candidate works out to a decimal, round it off to the next higher value if it is0.5 and above. If it is less than 0.5 then round it off to the lower number.

The above exercise is intended to motivate and sustain the interest level of the student and facilitate him tolink his academic performance with other related activities.

The Board believes that the rich experience and ancient wisdom of this country in the field of Mathematics,as evidenced in various fields like astronomy and other indigenous technologies, was but a testimony of thekeen interest lndia had in the subject. It is necessary to revive this love for the subject by several pedagogicalreforms. It is felt that the above initiatives of the Board would go a long way in building an appropriate climalefor effective transaction of the subject of Mathematics in classrooms and its extended learning beyond thecampus of the school.

The Board intends to implement the above scheme for the class X from the ensuing academic year 2005-06and for class X for the academic year 2006-07.

All Heads of Institutionsaffiliated to the Board

Subject : Internal Assessment in Mathematics at Secondary stage

Dear Principal,

You are aware that the Board had issued notification vide circular no. 03/04 dated 28th January, 2004regarding introduction of concept of Mathematics Laboratory in all its affiliated schools. The schools wereadvised to get Mathematics Laboratory ready by 31st March 2005. Another Circular No. 10 dated 2nd March,2005 in this regard had also been issued in relation to introduction of Mathematics Laboratory and Internalassessment in Mathematics at the Secondary level from Academic session 2005-06 in class IX and the subsequentsession in class X. This circular clarified that the internal assessment of 20% is to be awarded on the basis ofperformance of a student in the activity work, project work and continuous assessment as per the followingscheme:

� Assessment of two skins on the basis of year-endformal examination in activity work : 10 Marks

� Assessment of Project work : 05 Marks

� Assessment through formative and Summative tests : 05 Marks

The Board had also published a document ‘Guidelines for Mathematics Laboratory in Schools for class IX’during the session 2005-2006 which included details of all the activities to be done by a student alongwith theinformation related to project work and assessment in the same. It is hoped that all necessary steps have beentaken by your institution for effective implementation of the scheme ensuring optimum objectivity in assessment.

This scheme of internal assessment of 20% in Mathematics will now be applicable for March, 2007 class XExamination. The Board has already published a document ‘Guidelines for Mathematics Laboratory in schoolsfor class X’ which includes details of all the activities to be done by a student during the year as well assuggested project work. Besides, the document also includes all relevant information about scheme of assessment.The contents of this document are available on CBSE website www.cbse.nic.in. It is hoped that the said documenthas been procured by your institution and the guidelines are being followed in letter and spirit. The followingaspects of the scheme deserve your special attention.

(a) The scheme of assessment for class X March, 2007 Examination will comprise of two components:

Theory Examination : 80 Marks

Internal Assessment (Based on Activity Work and project work) : 20 Marks


(b) All the activities included in the document for class X have to be done by every student during theacademic year. The Board’s document ‘Guidelines for Mathematics laboratory in schools - class X’includes the detailed procedure for conduct of all these activities. The students are required to maintainproper record of the activity work done during the year. The Board may ask any school to produce thisrecord work, if required.

(c) Every school must provide the required physical facilities and provision for time for practical work inschool time-table.

(d) Every student is also expected to undertake one project in the subject during the year. The project maybe in the form of extended learning in the subject and related to real life situations.

However, the total out-of-school time required to complete this project should not exceed 8-10 hours.The subject teacher may guide the students for its proper selection and procedure, if need be. Some ofthe projects suggested in class X Board’s document include:

(i) To investigate the efficiency in packing objects of different shapes in a cuboid box.

(ii) To study Geometry in real life.

(iii) To study the distance between different points of a geometrical figure when it is displaced.

(iv) To analyse language test using graphical and pie chart techniques.

(v) To appreciate that finding probability through experiment is different from finding probabilityby calculation.

Proper report of the project work, preferably handwritten, is also to be maintained separately.This report may include objective, description, calculation, result, conclusion and remark.

(e) The activity work and project work done by students during the academic session has to be assessedduring the course of a formal examination at the end of the year at school level. The said examinationmay be spread over a period of an hour and a half for a group of about 20 students. Any two skills out ofa list of skills (observation, thinking, analytical, comparing, interpretation, problem-solving, spatialskills, game skill etc.) given in the Board’s document may be tested through two or three activities(depending on the time needed for such activities) to be actually performed by every student in theexamination. The assessment of students in skills and project work may be done preferably by a team ofteachers in accordance with the detailed specifications given in the Board’s document. The break-up of10 marks for assessment of a single activity could be as follows :

� Statement of the objective of activity : 01 mark

� Design of approach to activity : 02 marks

� Actual conduct of activity : 03 marks

� Procedure explanation : 03 marks

� Result and conclusion : 01 marks

The break-up of 5 marks for assessment of project work could be as follows :

� Identification and statement of the project : 01 mark


� Design of the project : 01 marks

� Explanation of procedure adopted : 01 marks

� Write-up of the project : 01 marks

� Interpretation of result : 01 marks

Continuous Assessment in the form of formative and summative tests may be carried out as per the followingscheme (for class X):

(i) Reduce the marks obtained by the student in class IX Annual Examination to marks out of 10.

(ii) Reduce the marks obtained by the student in first term examination in class X to marks out of 10.

(iii) Add the marks in (i) and (ii) above and work out for the marks out of 20.

(iv) Reduce it to marks out of 05. The above marks may then be added to the project work for calculationof total marks out of 20. The list of marks obtained by every student (out of 20) is to be sent to theBoard’s office as per the directions to be issued.

It may not be out of place to bring to your kind notice that the Board will keep a close watch on the marksobtained by students in theory examination (out of 80) and internal assessment (out of 20) and may down scalethe marks in internal assessment in case of serious discrepancies.

Every school is required to maintain proper record of the activity, work and project work for a period of sixmonths. The same may be inspected by the Board, if need be.

You will appreciate that the whole purpose of introducing the concept of Mathematics laboratory and internalassessment at secondary level is to make teaching-learning of the subject an interactive, exciting, fun-fillingand life related experience. The scheme primarily aims at helping the student learn the basic and essentialconcepts and skills by doing simple activities and projects. This is likely to promote interest for the subject andenhance academic attainment of the students. The scheme, however, demands greater focus, attention andefforts on everyone’s part. Your personal intervention and monitoring will certainly add immense value to thisacademic endeavour.

Circular No. 38/08


Subject: Strengthening of Mathematics Laboratory activity work in classes III to VIII

Dear Principal,

You are aware that the concept of Mathernatics Laboratory was introduced by Central Board of Secondary

Education in its affiliated schools few years back. Every school was advised, through a detailed circular to

establish Mathematics Laboratory in order to promote teaching learning of the subject through activity work

and hands on experiences. It was also suggested that the concept may be introduced from class III to class X.

With the objective of implementation of the concept in the right earnest, activity and project work was

made an integral part of the prescribed syllabus at seeondary stage and the scheme of intemal assessment in

Mathematics was introduced in class X examination from the academic year 2006-07. A detailed circular dated

18th July, 2005 including related information was sent to all the affiliated schools. March, 2007 class X

examination was condueted according to the new scheme. A series of initiatives including publication of guidelines

to schools on Mathematics Laboratory for classes IX and X giving detailed activities and suggestive project

work, were taken by the Board during this period. Additional guidelines have also been provided in the form of

circulars issued from time to time and through orientation programs for Mathematics teachers. Schools have

also been asked to ensure greater objectivity in internal assessment in the subject vide circular no.02/07 dated

Subject : Study of effectiveness of use of computers and internet on learningMathematics at Higher Secondary stage – a pilot study by NCERT

Dear Principal,

You may be aware that National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has been workingat the National level for the all-round improvement in the quality of school education. The National CurriculumFramework 2005(NCF 2005) has been developed by NCERT for providing policy guidelines for the teachingand learning of all curricular areas including Mathematics.

NCF 2005 has recommended that the teachers of Mathematics have to conscientiously set about replacingthe behaviorist paradigm with methods based on constructivist or other progressive models of learning. Itreiterates that the use of technology can greatly aid the process of mathematical exploration and wiser use ofsuch aids can help engage students. It further states that it must be understood that there is a spectrum oftechnology use in Mathematics education and research in this direction will be greatly beneficial to schooleducation. In keeping with the broad guidelines enumerated in NCF 2005 for teaching and learning ofMathematics, the Department of Education in Science and Mathematics (DESM), NCERT has developed thesyllabi and textbooks for all stages of school education.

NCERT is now contemplating to exploit the potential of World Wide Web(WWW) for improving the qualityof Mathematics teaching in schools. In this endeavour, they would like to associate active and enthusiasticPGTs in Mathematics from schools across India to participate in this research study.

As per the plan of action, initially they will provide a questionnaire to each participant teacher for theiropinion and feedbacks. Subsequently, they will choose one sample content area, discuss with teachers andidentify appropriate technological tools for the development of sample material.

The identified teachers from different school systems will participate in discussions on administration ofsample materials and study tools will be prepared through virtual learning environment (VLE) with NCERTwebsite. Once the teacher is convinced and trained properly to handle all the tools, the developed material willbe provided to member teachers to conduct this study in their respective schools.


These communications with the teachers will be conducted through emails and NCERT website so thattheir day to day work is not affected.

You are, therefore, requested to please identify interested PGT in Mathematics from your school who wouldlike to be associated with this research study.

Dr. P.K. Chaurasia (email [email protected] and mobile number 09868939552) is the PrincipalInvestigator of this study. The list of teachers with their email addresses, correspondence addresses and contactnumbers may be forwarded to Dr. P.K. Chaurasia through emails/hard copies. Also the participant teachers maybe provided the email address of Dr. Chaurasia to make the communication easy and effective.


Yours faithfully,

Acad./Dir (Acad.)/2005 25th May, 2005Circular No. 26/05

The Heads of all CBSEaffiliated institutions

Subject : School based evaluation in Social Science at secondary stage

Dear Principal,

Kindly refer to circulars no. 02/04, dated 28th January, 2004 and 06/04 dated 11th February, 2004 videwhich the Board had introduced the scheme of school based evaluation in Social Science at secondary stage andalso issued relevant guidelines for its implementation from the academic year 2004-05 for class IX and 2005-06for class X.

The schools must have now been in the process of planning its implementation for class X in 2006examination. For the guidance of the schools, the salient features of the scheme are being reiterated here

1. A total of twenty (20) marks have been allotted for intemal evaluationas as per the following details:

� Tests (formative and summative) 10 marks

� Assignments - school and home assignment 05 marks

� Project work 05 marks

2. Regarding evaluation of formative tests, the teachers are expected to give a variety of oral and writtenquestions for recapitulation, review and diagnostic purposes. The purpose is not to assess learning butto identify learning gaps, deficiency in teaching and to bring improvement in teaching-learning process.However, for evaluation of unit tests (written), it is suggested that a record of at least three unit tests,term tests and half yearly tests should be maintained. In class IX, students can be given marks out of 10and average can be calculated out of 10 marks. Alternatively, students can be assessed in the unit testson a five-point rating scale and Grade Point Average (GPA) can be worked out. Then, the final scores onwritten tests can be worked out of 10 marks. These grades will have the following numerical values:

• Excellent - A-5, • Very Good -B-4, • Good - C-3, • Fair - D-2, • Unsatisfactory - E-l. In class X, 10marks will be awarded on the basis of final performance of students in class IX and also on the basis ofat least two unit tests held in class X. Then the average can be calculated for marks to be given out of 10.For example, if any student has got 60 per cent marks in aggregate in Class IX home examination andhas got 7 & 8 marks out of 10 respectively in two unit tests in Class X, the above can be added up inproportion to 10 which comes out 21 which will then be divided by 3 to get the average marks out of 10.


In the instant case, it comes to 7. The teachers may note that too many tests increase the stess level ofstudents. The tests should be conducted in stress free, non-threatening environment to help the studentin revising learnt concepts.

3. Regarding assignments, it is suggested that for recording purpose. every month, well-planned assignmentsmay be given to the students. Since Social Science has components of History, Geography, Civics etc.assignments may consist of 1 or 2 questions which test the understanding of different concepts in thesecomponents. There can be 4 to 5 assignments in class IX and 3 to 4 such assignments in class X.Assessment can be made on a 5-point rating scale. Record of such 5 assignments may be kept. Based ontheir suggested numerical values, Grade Point Average (GPA) can be calculated to arrive at final awardin marks out of 5.

4. Regarding evaluation of project work, 5 marks have been assigned for the project work done by thestudents in the academic session. The Board had also sent detailed guidelines regarding evaluation ofproject work, vide circular no. 7/2005 dated 4th Feb.2005. For class IX, a student is required to do anytwo projects out of which one will be compulsorily on Disaster Management. In class X, the studentswill do any one project and marks will be awarded out of 5. It may be pointed out that the projectwork in no case should be voluminous and must be restricted within 9 to 15 pages of standard A-4 sizebut it should be original, creative and innovative. Break up of marks over different aspects will be asfollows:

Aspects Marks

Initiative, cooperativeness and participation 1

Content accuracy and research work 1

Creativity, originality 1

Analysis of different situations and different perspectives 1

Viva or written test for content assimilation 1

Marks for one project 5

Total marks for two projects (Class IX) 10

Total marks for internal evaluation in project work (Class IX/X)

5. Schools are requested to keep the records of internal assessment along with the project files which havebeen prepared by the students and make these available for inspection. Board will be sending its observersto the schools for the purpose.

6. It may be noted that all the schools are required to send roll number wise marks statement with respect


to internal evaluation to the Board between 15th January, 2006 to 15th February, 2006. The Marksstatement should clearly reflect breakup into different components of internal evaluation.

I would like to emphasise here that the entire purpose of introducing internal evaluation has been to destresslearning and make it more relevant useful and enjoyable for the students. The objective of entire exercise is notto increase the learning load among the students but to ensure that the students are enthusiastically involved inthe learning process.

With best wishes,

Yours faithfully,

Subject: School for Project Work Evaluation in Social Sciences

Dear Principal,

Your attention is drawn to the office circular no. 07/2005 issued on 4th February, 2005 wherein guidelinesfor project work Evaluation in Social Sciences were issued to the schools. It is reiterated that schools shouldseriously follow the laid down guidelines in evaluating different aspects of internal evaluation i.e. term/unittests, assignments and project work and maintain proper assessment records.

Project Work is an important aspect of internal evaluation wherein children are helped to do and learn ontheir own by going through the documents, collecting relevant materials and analysing them to arrive at theirown findings and conclusions. The schools should continue to assign the projects to students based on theguidelines and topics specified. They must also ensure that the total length of the Project report should not bemore than 12-15 (size A4) foolscap size handwritten pages. Evaluation should be strictly in terms of the criterialaid down in the guidelines. Boosting of internal assessment marks should be avoided. Any such thing may leadto downscaling of internal marks or its cancellation and the result will be declared on the basis of external marksalone.

The Board will be very shortly sending you the revised topics/themes for project for classes IX and X to befollowed during the current academic session 2006-07.

INTRODUCTION

Education is a developmental process, which transforms learners. It brings about a change in the mental andphysical behaviours of students. To bring about this change, teachers need to introduce their students to concepts,generalizations, issues and skills. which seem relevant to their lives.

Social Science is one of the subjects which brings students closer to their envirornment, society and theintricacies of the geographical, social, economic and political processes. It enables them to understand theprocess of social change and the role that they can play towards this change.

With the onset of the new millemium, many challenges have been thrown in the school education system.Information explosion and widespread use of information technology has emphasised further demands on theeducation system. It is imperative to be sensitive to changing societal needs and expectations. In Social Scienceeducation particularly there has been a felt need to make its learning interesting. motivating and participatory innature.

Sensing this need of its schools, the CBSE introduced Internal Evaluation in Social Science at secondarystage since the 2004 academic session of class IX.

The Internal Evaluation of 20 marks for each of classes IX and X will have the following break up:

Part 1 Class tests, term tests, etc. 10 marks

Part 2 Assignments 5 marks

Part 3 Project work 5 marks

As each of these different types of assessment evaluate differert aspects of learning the evaluation shouldreflect the actual effort and performance of the learner. No changes should be made to the marks given by theevaluator to enhance overall performance of the students.

Brief guidelines with respect to Internal Evaluation in Social Science at the Secondary Stage have alrearlybeen sent to schools. The present guidelines Part 3 pertain to evaluation of Project work.

Part 3 : PROJECT WORK

Need for introducing Project work in Social Science was being felt for quite sometime. Many schools hadalso expressed their desire to have projects in Social Science for enhancing students’ understanding of differentconcepts, principles and generalizations inherent in the subject. This also introduces an alternative mode oflearning in class rooms with a purpose to increase students participation in the process of learning and enablingthem to become independent thinkers. It is expected that by introducing Project work learning will becomemore contextual, relevant. contemporary and centred on Learning to Be.

A. PROJECT WORK REQUIREMENTS

The project work in Social science entails the following requirements:

1. The projects will be evaluated internally and continuously.

2. All the concerned Social Science teachers in consultation with each other should share evaluation of theprojects.


3. Questions based on the conclusions of the project will be given as a test (oral or written) of 10 minutesduration after the submission of the project.

ACAD/EO(COM)/2008 14.5.2008Circular No. 20/08

Very Important


Subject: Approach to the Internal Evaluation of Disaster Management, Unit5 of Social Science class X March 2008 examination of Board.

Dear Principal,

Reference is made to circular no. 15/08 dated 11.04.2008 intimating the Board’s decision to evaluate DisasterManagement in Social Sciences of class X through projects from the academic session 2008-09 and the BoardExamination 2009 in Social Science of class X.

The Board has further decided that in addition to Project Work. Disaster Management will be evaluatedthrough assignments also. Following is the revised marks distribution over the three components:

l. Tests - Formative and summative l0 marks

2. Assignments - class and Home 4 marks

3. Project Work 6 marks

Detailed guidelines in this regard are as follows :

1. Tests - Formative and Summative:

The Unit/Term tests in Class X will not include testing of theory in Disaster Management. Other thingsremain the same and the marks will be allotted taking the average of student’s performance in Class IX and alsounit tests in Class X. Kindly refer to Board’s Circular No. 26/05 dated 25.05.2005 in this respect.

2. Assignments - Class and Home

Hereafter, students are expected to do 4 different assignments in Social Science in Class X during an academicsession. Out of these. one assignment must be from Disaster Management. All assignments would carry 1 markeach. The remaining three assignments can be given on the other components of Social Science as per discretionof the teacher after ensuring that questions cover all the units of Social Science syllabus and also no componentof Social Science should carry more than one assignment.

The purpose of the assignment in Disaster Management is to evaluate the students’ understanding of the


different methods of managing disasters. These assignments could be based on the suggested activities in thetextbook or through using diagrams, pictures, comprehension of texts and descriptions given in all the sevenchapters of the CBSE textbook, “Together Towards a Safer India Part III”. This assignment should be from anychapter other than that selected by the student for project work. Records of assignment done by the studentsshould be kept for a period of six months after board’s examination is over for verification.

3. Project Work

Every student has to compulsorily undertake one project on Disaster Management. A list of topics forproject work is enclosed for ready reference in Annexure 1. These projects have been carefully designed so asto:

(a) Create awareness in learners.

(b) Enable them to understand and co-relate all aspects of Disaster Management.

(c) Relate theory with practice.

(d) Provide hands on experience.

In order to realize the expected objectives completely, it would be required of the Principals to mustersupport from various local authorities and organizations like the Disaster Managernent Authorities, Relief,Rehabilitation and the Disaster Management Departments of the States, Office of the District Magistrate/DeputyCommissioners, Fire Service, Police, Civil Defence etc. in the area where the schools are located. The textbookentitled “Together Towards a Safer India, Part III”, by CBSE so far in use for theory examination is therecommended primary source for successfully carrying out the project work. The teachers must ensure judiciousselection by students of projects covering a maximum number of listed projects.

The revised distribution of marks over different aspects relating to Project Work is as follows:

S.No. Aspects Marks

1. Content accuracy and originality 2

2. Presentation and creativity 1

3. Process of Project Completion: Initiative, cooperativeness, participation 1and punctuality

4. Viva or written test for content assimilation 2

Total marks for project in Class X 6

The projects carried out by the students in different topics should subsequently be shared among themselvesthrough interactive sessions such as exhibitions, panel discussions, etc. All documents pertaining to assessmentunder this activity should be meticulously maintained by concerned schools. A Summary Report should beprepared highlighting:

� objectives realized through individual or group interactions


� calendar of activities

� innovative ideas generated in this process

� list of questions asked in viva voce and subsequently sent to the undersigned. It is to be noted here by allthe teachers and students that the projects and models prepared should be made from eco-friendlyproducts without incurring too much expenditure. The Project Report should be handwitten by thestudents themselves and comprise of not more than 15 foolscap pages. The record of the project workshould also be kept for a period of six months for verification, if any.

There being no change right now in Class IX syllabus and Evaluation Scheme, the component of Internalassessment pertraining to this aspect will remain the same.

This may be brought to the notice of all concemed.

Yours faithfully,

(C. GURUMURTHY)DTRECTOR (ACAD.)


ANNEXURE 1

Carry out a survey by enquiring from at least 20 persons from different walks of life (such as shopkeepers,housewives, senior citizens, college students, etc.) in your locality on the hazards prevalent, and preventivemeasures they have taken or would like to take to reduce the impact.

Prepare a Survey report highlighting the areas where awareness is needed and the local resources availablein the locality to create awareness.

(Note for Teachers: The teachers can select any two of the functionaries based on their availability in thatcity/town. This topic can be taken up individually by students or by a group consisting of two students. In caseof group work where two students are involved, work should be divided equally so that distribution of marks iseasier).

Project 2: Generating Awareness on Disaster Manaqement

Design a 10 minute skit on Disaster Management. Design posters on dos and don’ts of various hazardsprevalent in that area. Visit a slum community and enact the skit by using the posters. The Skit and the posterscan also be used to make the junior students aware.

(Note for the Teachers: Better awareness and preparedness amongst the community members have saveda lot of life and property. As responsible future citizens of the country, students can play a major role in makingthe community awar to be better prepared for natural hazards (flood, cyclone, landslide, tsunami etc.) andhuman included hazards (fire, rail, road and air accidents). Local language should be used so that the commmunity


is able to have a better understanding. The Principal alongwith the teachers can help the students in organizinga meeting with the local slum community).

Project 3: Preparation of Models of Disaster Resilient Structures

Make layouts of models based on structural improvement in buildings in a rural/urban cornmunity in coastalareas prons to floods/cyclones or in areas prone to earthquakes, landslides. Show the special features of thebuildings and indicate the early warning system that could be best used in that community.

(Note for Teachers: To carry out the project, there is a need to have a good understanding about thesubject. The class X textbook on Disastar Management will help the teachers and the students to have a fairunderstanding about the topic. However, the school also needs to seek support from qualified engineers, andarchitects who have knowledge on safe construction practices from either the Govemment or private sector andalso from academic institutions. Qualified engineers and architects can be invited by the principal of the schoolfor lectures and also to suggest methods of carrying out the models. For assessing the project carried out by theschool, these qualified persons may also be invited.)

Project 4: Pocket Gaide on First Aid

Prepare a pocket guide on First Aid for your school. The First Aid pocket guide should contain aid thatneeds to be given for fractures, poisoning, cuts and burns, heat and cold wave and other threats that are prevalentin that area.

Drill at the time of arrival/ departure of the children:

i. Kidnapping of children at the time of their arrival/departure.

a. The guard on duty at main gate or nodal officer should immediately inform the Police about the incident.Guards should give proper description of the vehicle, colors etc, so that police can impose Red Alertand search the suspected vehicle.

b. The guards posted at main gate should immediately rush the children already on the road or footpathinside the school and close the school gates.

c. Those who are still in the cars and buses and have not alighted should be told to move forward and leavethe area.

d. The guards at the main gate should immediately press the alarm bell to close the intermediate gates tosegregate and secure the children inside the school blocks. He should also inform the nodal securityofficer/ Principal of the school.

ii. Random Firing on the road near the School

a. There should be two guards at the main gate at the time of arrival/ departure of children. Guard at themain gate should quickly take in all the children and close the gate.


b. Another guard should direct the buses and vehicles from which the children have not yet alighted tomove on quickly and get out of the area.

c. Guards at main gate to inform the police and also the nodal security officer of the school.

d. Alarm bells should be rung and intermediate gates be closed to prevent any children from comingoutside.

e. Rush the injured children/ other victims to the hospital.

iii. Armed Intrusion into the school with Hostage taking:

In case armed terrorists manage to enter the school and hold up teachers/ students/ others as hostages, thefollowing action should be taken by the school authorities, besides the quick reaction team engaging the terrorists:

a. Inform the Police

b. Initially all the children and teachers should stay back in their respective rooms and those in verandaetc. rush into the nearest room, and not to indulge into any any rash act in panic like running out towardsdoor to escape etc. They should close the doors from inside and lie low in the classroom to escaperandom firing.

c. The security guards should be identified gate-wise. They should rush out from their positions with thekeys of the concerned gates to open them for safely sending the children out as and when possible. Theyshall check that the area outside is clear of miscreants and a passage is available, and open the gateswhen told to do so by teachers/ nodal security officer.

d. If the location of the terrorists is known and there is safe passage available from the other classrooms toany of the gates, the children under the leadership of the respective teachers in a single file withoutmaking any noise should be taken out.

e. Children may not be asked to collect/ gather in any open ground as they can become easy targets.

f. In case of any doubt, there should be no movement and teacher/ school authority should wait for thepolice to arrive, contain the situation, surround the terrorist and provide a secured passage for thechildren to move out from their respective places to outside the school.

g. One of guards available should rush to the main gate and direct the cars/ buses arriving subsequently togo back to their homes.

iv. Suspected explosive object found in the vicinity of school or inside the premises:

a. School staff, teacher and students should be regularly briefed not to touch any unattended object lyinganywhere inside/ outside the school. In case any such object is found, the person who finds it shouldimmediately bring it to the notice of the nodal security officer of the school. In case it is seen by astudent, he should immediately bring it to the notice of his first available teacher, who in turn willinform the nodal security officer/ principal of the school. All should also be briefed to keep away fromsuch an object.

b. If there is a bomb scare, then children should not be collected in one place without first checking thatarea. Some place can be designated like auditorium/ field and there should be team of 8-10 people from


the school who will quickly spread out and carry out a check of that area before collecting the childrenthere.

c. In case the bomb has already exploded, then cars and buses coming to the school with children shouldbe told to go back home.

d. The injured/ casualties be rushed to the hospitals.

e. The nodal officer or the Principal or even the security guards available in the school should inform thePolice at the earliest opportunity. The call will activate the police drill and they will respond accordingly.

Drill when the school is already functional:

a. All the gates on the perimeter wall should be closed and locked after the arrival of children. The guardshould open the door only for bonafide reasons. Once the gates are locked, the probability of forcibleintrusion considerably reduces, as even the intruder understands that in case he tries to enter forcibly,the school authorities can call the police and they may be intercepted even before they can achieve theirobjectives. However, in case somebody tries to forcibly enter the school premises by forcing open thegate under threat of life to the guard or crash open the gate by driving the vehicle into the gate or jumpover the wall, the following action should be taken.

b. Guard at the main gate should inform police and the nodal security officer immediately.

c. In case the guards on other gates notice the intrusion or any being threatened by intruders to open thegate, they should also immediately press the alarm bell. A code can be defined for ringing the bell insuch a situation to convey the type of threat.

d. The Nodal Security Officer should immediately raise general alert in the school and through centralizedPA system inform the concerned to follow the security drill i.e. all children/ staff to go inside the roomsand to close them from inside.

e. Nodal Security Officer to inform the Principal of the school.

f. However, if the criminals/ terrorists still manage to enter the school and indulge in any criminal act,then the following drill should be followed for various acts:

(i) Kidnapping of children / Random firing with intention of mass killing of children inside the school:

It is presumed that the terrorists/ criminals having done their act have managed to escape. In such a case

- Inform the police again giving description of criminals/ terrorists, their number, along with details ofescape vehicle, if noted.

- Nodal Security Officer to announce on PA system for teachers/ students and staff to stay inside theirrooms.

- Injured/casualties, if any, be rushed to the hospitals.


- Those who have seen the kidnappers and noted their description be identified and requested to collect atone place to assist the police in investigation.

- Drill be activated to inform the parents and return of children.

(ii) For other situations the drill will be same as mentioned in para.

4.1 (A)

6. Communication with the Parents:

It is very likely that the news of such an incident will breakout very fast and parents in panic would rush tothe school. In order to ensure that parents do not rush to school and create obstructions in the subsequentoperations by the police forces, they need to be informed to come to a pre-identified central place as close to theschool as possible for the briefing as well as for handing over of rescued children. This can be achieved if theschool can have a system of having the mobile nos. of all the parents of the children in a centralized database. ASMS can be drafted explaining the situation giving the necessary facts, place of their assembly for briefing etc.and the message sent to all. For this purpose, the local police should identify the place of assembly, in advanceand provide a list, locality wise to all schools and also to the District Hqrs. And State Hqrs.

7. General Suggestions:

1) School gates be kept closed immediately after the arrival of children till the dispersal of children begins,to prevent any easy intrusion.

2) The telephone numbers of nearest hospital(s), police stations and assistance desks should be displayedprominently in the school.

3) Guards should be identified for each gate and there should be a list put up to specify who has keys towhich gate. All gates should be covered by guards.

4) A centralized alarm system and also a PA system, through which classes can be addressed collectivelyas well as individually and selected combination should be installed.

5) All teachers/ staff should be briefed properly and apprised of any possible threats.

6) There should be a list with duties specified by names like which teacher/ staff would be responsible forcontrolling children, which one would inform police/ hospital authorities, which one would be responsiblefor informing the parents and so on.

7) All the bus drivers to be briefed to respond quickly and drive away their buses with children if they seeany commotion/ attack at the gate and directed by security guards to do so.

8) The guard at the gate should be alert to notice any suspicious person moving around or standing near theschool.

9) A security check can be carried out in school by the staff to check if any object is lying unclaimed atvarious points such as in the classroom, at any gate, in the field and so on.

10) The antecedents of all the new staff members being employed in the school should be verified properly.


11) All labourers working in the school should be issued a temporary photo I- Card and they can be generallychecked by security guards to prevent anyone of them from bringing anything (like bomb/IED) to beimplanted in the school.

12) School authorities should provide a copy of lay out plan of the school to the local police station inadvance.

8. Advance Recee:

Local police along with the school may carry out an advance reconnaissance of the schools to prepare theoperation to deal with any such contingency in future.

9. Mock Drill:

School authorities may conduct the briefing of the teachers/ students/ staff as well as the drill as per thisSOP to ensure that everybody knows his/ her role in such an eventuality. They can also include local Police intheir Mock Drill.

Subject: Regarding Text Books - NCERT

Dear Principal,

The NCERT has brought out new textbooks in classes I, III, VI, IX & XI for the session 2006-07. This wascommunicated to schools vide Circular No. 1/06 dated Feb. 16, 2006 and Circular No. 04/06 dated March 29,2006.There has been a shortage of textbooks which has been reported from the Sahodaya Cluster in Kerala. TheCBSE has made an effort to address this issue for the present as well as the future sessions.

The old textbooks of these classes by NCERT have been de-prescribed and cannot be made available. Thesame status will apply to textbooks for classes II, IV, VII, X & XII in the next session 2007-08. Hence schoolsmay exercise utmost caution while prescribing textbooks. Any decision by the schools to continue the oldtextbooks will be at their own risk.

In order to facilitate timely and adequate availability of textbooks, a list of wholesalers who supply NCERTbooks for all states is enclosed. This list is also available on the CBSE website (www.cbse.nic.in).

The schools can select the wholesalers as per their convenience and place orders with them by 3lst December,2006. The selection of a particular wholesaler may also be communicated to the Board and NCERT so thatresponsibitity can be fixed on them for non supply of textbooks in time.

This may be treated as urgant so that the concem generated by non availability of books in this session maybe avoided in the future.

Yours sincerely,

(C. GURUMURTHY)DIRECTOR (ACADEMIC)

CBSE/EO(Sc)/2008/ 30.4.2008Circular No. 16/08


Subject: Publication of the document ‘Science is Doing’ - an activity book for class VII

Dear Principal,

You may be aware that the Board had earlier published a document. ‘Learning by doing’- a compendium ofscience activities, for class VI. This was done with the objective or promoting teaching and learning of thesubject through activity-based and learner-centred approach and help the students enjoy learning and have funand excitement during the learning process. The document included wide variety of syllabus related concept-based activities including games, riddles and crossword puzzles. It is hoped that desired emphasis is beinggiven to the pedagogical requirements of the subject of Science right from lower grades and schools are providingall necessary physical facilities and sufficient time to carry out these activities for better understanding of therelated concepts. A related circular to this effect was sent to all the affiliated schools immediately for publicationof the above document.

The publication of present document ‘Science is doing’ an activity book for class VII, is in continuation tothe earlier effort and is aimed at further strengthening of the approach of providing more hands-on experiencesto the learners. The Board firmly believes that being more conceptual in nature. learning of subject of Sciencedemands active and concrete learning experiances to be given to the students, particularly during formativeyears. It is with this broader objective in mind that the present publication has been brought out and the endeavouris now being further extended to class VIII. This publication is slightly different from routine documents andhas the flavour of a story book presented in a simple form. This document includes variety of activities directlyrelated to different content units and concepts included in latest class VII NCERT Science Textbook. Theactivities include stories, poems, games, riddles, crossword puzzles and concept-based motor-coordinationexercises. An effort has been made to avoid repetition or overlapping of activities which have already beenincluded in NCERT publication. It is expected that actual participation of learners in the process will make theirlearning experience much more satisfying and pleasurable. Their memory is also likely to be further stengthenedby a higher retention quotient. That such rich dividends are realized through activities requiring only low costmaterials is an added attraction.

The schools may procure desired number of copies from Board’s office at Headquarters. Delhi or any of theRegional Offices on making payment in cash or in the form of a Demand Draft in favour of Secretary or


Regional Officer payable at the respective place. An outstation request should also include postage charges.The document is priced at Rs. 40/-. Any further information in this regard can be had from Shri RP Sharma.Education Officer (Science) at [email protected] or 011-23211200.

It is reiterated that teaching/learning of Science has to be taken on a different footing and every effortshould be made to make teaching more interesting and innovative and learning more enjoyable.

Yours faithfully,
